Ram Upgrade with Asus MOBO

Stormtrooper13 · Jan 20, 2014

I want to upgrade my ram from 8gb to 16. I have this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131823

I am considering this ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231670

I am knowledgeable on pcs, however I'm not informed on DDR3 speeds. I believe my mobo supports 2400. Just not sure, thank you!
Any recommendations on what ram/brands? I know 16gb is more than enough for games. I've heard that 4x4gb sticks are better than 2 8b sticks..

That'll work.

However most of the time you stick with 1600Mhz.

X79 :

Is there a huge performance difference?

X79 · Jan 20, 2014

I wouldn't say so, if it's just gaming.

I think it might make a difference purely technically in some cases, however most people wouldn't notice I think.

Hence 1600Mhz seems to be the point from which you don't see much of a performance difference necessarily

and even if you do, it quickly gets quite a bit more expensive than most people would care for.

Oh and I'd stick with G.Skill/Corsair/Kingston for brands. Even 8GB is enough for games.

2x4 is just fine.

The 2400 ram would be a waste , stick to 1600 like X79 stated.

Thanks I went with your guys' advice. This will work with my Asus p8z77-vle plus mobo right? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JPKGY2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
