I bought a new Maximus VII Formula/Watch Dog motherboard. What is the best memory ram in 2 x 8 sticks so I can later put another 2 sticks to make it 32 GB's. I can get that will work great and not tear my wallet up. I was looking at the Dominator platinum but asus says it has to be ver 4.21 or 5.29 and (XMP). Everything I have looked at on the internet does not give me a version number. I usually order from Newegg. I am leaning towards Corsair and the Gskills. I am lost. Can someone help me please. I also bought the new Haswell CPU 4.0. Once I figure the memory out I can build my machine. Also got the Asus GTX-780.

Thank you Jaye. Can leave me email at (email edited out, not allowed)

Yep that's why I asked, the EVO is quite popular and most don't seem to know the fan(s) are adjustable height wise, as are a few of the other good coolers so DRAM height doesn't matter so much

You can take the heat spreaders/fins of off TridentX sticks and they'll effectively be Low Profile sticks. Not sure about regular Tridents.
