I'm researching components to build my first PC. I fancy a Maximus VI Formula, an i74770k and am thinking about a GTX 770 GPU. Will this setup cause bottlenecking with 16gb of RAM?
 
Solution
No. It won't.
If you are gaming, the ram is more than enough. If you go on video editing and rendering, the desktop will be able to utilise every bit of it..
Overall, go for it
16GB 1600MHZ CAS9 would be my choice

I don't think you can possibly bottleneck your components, even if you utilize the slowest memory standard your motherboard supports, i.e., DDR3 1333.

I suggest get G Skill Intl F3 Series RAMs or Patriot Memory 2400C10 Series. Both are really fast and they're in the same league with your mobo, CPU, and GPU. Maybe DDR3 3100 overclocked? 2500 overclocked? or 3000 overclocked? So on...Your chipset supports many memory standards, so...The memory standards I mentioned are definitely optimal, but that depends on what you prefer and what your budget is. I hope my feedback helps.

Thanks, Estavick. My main concern was that the GTX 770 was ok with the i7-4770k. I don't know the first thing about overclocking, yet, but want to give myself the option when I learn about it.
