I wanted to ask if my system will work properly. I am concerned because of something I read on Newegg's website. I plan to buy this http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1719464 and then add this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231617&cm_re=g.skill_trident_x_16gb_ddr3_2133_pc3_17000-_-20-231-617-_-Product to have 32gb on my new motherboard and cpu setup. My issue is the warning about the memory having compatibility issues even with the same exact model. Combination with other memory kits or modules (even with same model number) is not recommended to avoid any compatibility issues. Is the warning copied and pasted from the Newegg website. Thoughts? Suggestions? please and thank you.

Contrary to the above, there is no Guarantees that another set will will just hop right in and play nice...With the Tridents chances are about 50/50 adding a second set will play nice...If there is any problem with these you can normally make minor adjustments to the voltage of the MC and possibly a secondary timing change or two and all will be fine....I've been using Tridents as my primary sticks for personal and client builds for a couple years now. If a problem, give me a shout

The kit comes with 8gb already, buying that would increase it to 24gb

The kit comes with 16gbs, and then he wants another 16 for 32 total.
The only price difference between buying another set of 16 with the combo and a quad channel kit of 32 is the $30 combo discount, which really isn't that much when you're spending $911 dollars.

Thank you Tradesman1. Reason I'm looking to have so much memory James is because I like to try and keep ahead of the curve(mainly because I only can afford a new computer or system every 4 or 5 years, so I want it to last a while playing games). I also use linux as well in a dual boot setup. While windows 7 might not utilize all 32gb, linux will utilize it. Ram tends to help speed things up as well on the cheaper end of the spectrum of things to buy to speed up the system. I've considered also buying SSD HD but waiting for prices to come down. I want a nice 1tb SSD drive but the prices are way overboard currently, so I'll hold off a few years til the tech is older and not as popular or wanted.
