Hello, I want more RAM.
I currently have G.Skill 2 * 2 (4GB).
F3-12800OCL9D DDR3 1600 PC3 CL 9-9-9-24.
I want to switch out my nvidia gpu for an ATI card eventually crossfiring so I want enough RAM to see my rig maximize it's performance with the potential to OC which is why I have g.skill in the first place.
Should I go with 8GB or 16GB? I do gaming and photoshop and a lot of general media.
My cpu: phenom II 965 BE
GPU: MSI 460 GTX Hawk
coolermaster 212 cpu heatsink
Also, on this mobo, with my current cpu heatsink the fourth RAM slot is going to be blocked. With AMD boards is it ever a performance increase to use 4 sticks, say buying two 8GB sticks and then two more later for a total of 32?
My current RAM is 1600 so given that my entire rig is setup for OC'ing I want a RAM that will give me that flowing clip ease as I know it's my GPU bottlenecking Bioshock and not my quadsquad RAM.
Thank you.
