Hi, I've always wanted to build my own system and I'm finally doing it. I've already purchased a few pieces and I'm down to ram.
So far I have:
i5-4670
Asus Maximus VI Hero
EVGA GTX 770
and a case

went back and fourth with the i7 or i5 and decided the i7 wasn't worth the extra money and I got a deal on the mobo saving $40 on an open box(still has manufacture warranty and 30 day return policy, figured that was a no-brainer)
The list I've been using as a guide has Cruical Ballistix Sport memory so I was looking at that.
The question is: Is this a good brand to go with or is there something better and do I get 8 or 16? And is there any difference in the # of chips? Like I buy 1 8gig chip instead of 2 4 gig chips and maybe add another 4gig chip later? or 2 4gigs and 2 more later? I've got 4 slots for memory so what is the best configuration and why?
Thanks in advance, I just don't know a whole lot about parts and manufactures.
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL9 @1.5V UDIMM 240-Pin Memory BLS2KIT8G3D1609DS1S00
Thought I'd throw in what I was looking at on amazon, can get different chip sets for whatever but the rest is the same.
