yes it is.

why do you have 3 sticks of 4gb ram there? you should have 2 or 4... other wise 12gb/16gb is unnecessary unless your doing cpu intesive non gaming work like cad/rendering/photoshop. if you are, just get 2 sticks of 8gb ram rather than 4 sticks of 4gb.

well it would be better to get the two sticks of 8gb for 16gb total, or at least four sticks of 4gb. some have said populating all four ram slots can sometimes run into problems…. I'm not really sure what they mean. but i do know it would be better to fully populate the channel.
