Building a x99 platform gaming rig with Asus Deluxe II mobo.

My question is: There are 8 ram slots. I'm shooting for 16 gig memory.

Which would be better and will it make a big difference in (performance, bandwith or stressing out my voltage regulators/mobo).

(2) 8gig sticks or (4) 4gig sticks?

Debating between Corsair Dominator 2400mhz at 15 lat or 3000 mhz at 14 lat.


Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and have a great day. ;)
 
With the board being quad channel 4 sticks of memory is best.

It would be hard to get another two matching sticks in the future when you eventually need more memory. 4 sticks will also look a lot tidier.
 
As above, go for 4 4gb sticks and the 3000 set. If youneed the x99 board for things other than gaming I would provably suggest you get a 4x8gb set instead.
 
Thanks

Thanks for all your help. I'll then go with 4 Ram Sticks. And I mainly will be doing gaming, but some low to medium video and photo editing of family stuff here and there.

Do you think 16 gigs is enough or should I opt for 32 gigs?

Prices aren't too bad now.
