I am tossing up between two kits of ram for my new build , specs -
CPU - i7 3930k
Mobo - Big Bang X Power II
RAM - ?
PSU - HX -1050 V2
GPU/s - 2 x GTX 680 Sig II in SLi
- 1 x GTX 650 SC (Dedicated PhysX)
Chassis - Cosmos 2
SSD - Neutron GTX 240gb

So Heres The Toss Up - 16GB of 2133 Platinum with almost free light bar upgrade kits and free shipping - $274.97 or
- 32GB of 1600 Platinum Without upgrade kits $339.00 .......Opinions?

Also I am using this rig for gamin but i wouldnt mind being able to do some rendering , editing etc
 
16GB is more than enough for some rendering, editing etc.
I'd just grab the the 16GB kit with the higher speeds, however I do think that Dom Plats are kinda overpriced
 
^^^as above.


only addition I would make is the dom plats are all about the looks. Thats what you pay extra for....
 
Not sure if you disable your paging file but remember ; if you are running an SSD and have it enabled you will lose a total memory sized chunk of your hard drive space.

It would only really matter on say a 120gb ssd but just figured I would point it out :)

Like every one else I would say that 16gb is more than enough.
 
Well guys thanks for the help , i purchased the 16gb kit of 2133 this morning was about 70 dollars cheaper plus they gave me 2 light bar upgrade kits for 8 dollars so worked out quite well and alien thanks for the tip i didnt know that about the ssd and ram handy to know
