Hi,
I am buying the following CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K. I still need to buy memory and a motherboard.
1) How do I match memory to CPU for best performance? I want to buy a total of 16gb of memory (8x2)
2) Does the motherboard matter aside from having the correct socket and RAM space?
Advices as to particular parts would be very helpful but I would also like to understand why the part is good. I am looking to get the most out of my money. I don't mind paying a little extra if it means a big boost to performance, but I don't want to pay a lot extra just for a tiny bump.
