Hi people!
I am new here. I am also new to building gaming by my own.
I am currently planning to build a rather "high end" gaming pc.
Possible specs:
Motherboard: Maximus VII Hero (the new Z97)
CPU: i7-4770K
Video card: Asus DIrect CUii 780 Ti
Ram: G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-16GTX

These are some of the spec of the mobo.
4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 3200(O.C.)/3100(O.C.)/3000(O.C.)/2933(O.C.)/2800(O.C.)/2666(O.C.)/2600(O.C.)/2500(O.C.)/2400(O.C.)/2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1800(O.C.)/1600/1333 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory *
Dual Channel Memory Architecture
Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)
* Hyper DIMM support is subject to the physical characteristics of individual CPUs.
* Refer to www.asus.com for the Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists).

I learn that if the system is dual channel, and if the mobo support two DIMM slot per channel ( which is the case for VII HERO)
anandtech said:
In order to ensure that we have dual (or tri/quad) channel operation these sticks need to be in the right slots of the motherboard – most motherboards support two DIMM slots per channel and we need at least one memory stick for each channel.
Questions:
a)How do I plug the two ram kit on the 4 slots found on the HERO?
I put the ram and separate them by 1 slot in between?
b)IF I buy two 2x8GB, means total 4 stick, I just put them all together on randomly?
c)I learnt that buying ram as a kit (2x8gb, in the newegg link) is better,
but what if i buy two of 2x8gb? these two kit sure work together?
d) For High end gaming and future proof reason, Do i need 32gb memory actually?
THANKS in advance for your reply!!!
