I'm in the process of building a new system. I have these new parts at the present.
---------------------------------------------------
Asus Maximus V11 Ranger Motherboard
Intel I7-4790 cpu
Cosait HX 1050 pwr supply
Thermaltake Level 10 Gt Case
Have not selected a Video Card yet. But i'm looking at the Saphire Vapro x 290.
--------------------------------------------------
I'm told that this mb can use DDR4 memory but it only show''s that it supports DDR3 memory. If this mb can use DDR4 memory? i'd like someone to tell me just what G.Skill (Ripjaws) or,Corsai (Domminator or Vemgence) memory modules to buy. I'd also like to know which DDR$ module is the fastiest?
So farr I see that G.Skill has some DDR4 modules at varius speeds. id like at least 32GB of desktop memory. The mb has 4 memory slots.

Than's for any help you can provide.DBD...

It definitely can't take DDR4, I don't know who told you that. Socket 1150 chipsets will only ever take DDR3, and you'll have to wait for Skylake and socket 1151 to get DDR4 on a mainstream platform.
Right now DDR4 is only available on the X99 (socket LGA2011-3) chipset, and it's generally not much faster than DDR3 as it's new technology.
