Here is my current build:

Case: Corsair 750D
CPU - Intel i7-4820k
Motherboard - Asus P9X79 - WS
GPU - GTX 780Ti x 3
Boot Drive - Samsung 840 Pro 128GB
SSD - Samsung 840 Pro 256GB x 2 (RAID 0)
PSU - Corsair RM1000
RAM - ?? Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB DDR3 2400 (Quad Channel) ???!!

Money is not a major component. However the price of this Domnitator Platinum RAM is outlandishly high and I want to know if i am just paying for the brand name, the hype, and the aesthetics. Or is there significant evidence that this RAM outperforms other ram with the same specs!?!

ANY ADVICE IS GREAT! THANK YOU SO MUCH

Edit:

Pretty sure this is not important but I am gaming at 4K! Samsung u28D590D 2160p!
(Yes i am aware that the TI's dont have enough vram, really annoying that nvidia can put 4gb of vram on a gtx760 but not on a 780ti flagship card)
 
also, i would not 3-way sli 780 ti, if you need the extra performance, then try to make due with the 780 ti or 290x, because the performance scaling is poor, its better to wait untill the next gen of graphics cards come out later this year. also, if you use multi-monitor setup for gaming, or a 4k monitor which you have, go with 290X for the extra vram.

To your question, yes you are paying for the name, looks, etc, I've run a variety of these against GSkilll Tridents, Ripjaws Z and X as well as Snipers all in 2400/10 and all the GSKill models have had more OC headroom, so to me stronger sticks than the Corsairs
