Hi guys, recently i bought intel I7 4770k + Asus Maximus Vi extreme and obviously i'm waiting for gtx 790, what do you think i should buy for memory, main purpose of my build is for gaming and maybe i ll do a bit of modelling later but only simple modelling.

any drr-3 ram over 1866 speed cost you more for the ram then you get back in performance. look to gskill aries or other low profile ram to fit under after market heatsinks.

With your rig, I'd suggest the GSkill Tridents, at least 2x4GB and with the model, may want to consider 2x8GB, with the way Haswell scales to DRAM and with the modeling in mind would suggest minimum of 1866. Your combo should easily handle up through 16GB of 3000 is so desired

Sweet spot for now is about 2400 priceswise, with the 2x8GB, getting the memory chips and getting the sticks to play together from 2666 on up is still a problem and while things are improving, don't expect any massive price drops real soon
