I will be building a new gaming rig here in a few weeks and this is what I have so far been reading reviews on all of the parts and it all seams rock solid just wanted to check compatibility of the components as well as see if there is any other suggestions. still debating on using dominator platinum instead because I want to hook the whole system up to corsair link at a later date. I know the power supply is over kill for this build but it gives me the best value and saves me 60 bucks on individually sleeved cables. went with the blackline for the tight timings and low cas latency. either way let me know what you guys think.
ps: is there any notable consequences of using 2 sets of 2x4gb ram vs a set of 4x4gb ram? the reason I ask is the only have the dominator platinum 1600 in sets of 2x4gb
