What is the memory going in? CPU? MB? If an AMD system, go with the Snipers, 1866MHz. It will still depend on what MB & CPU, though.

Also, I just noticed that the Team 2400 is rated at 1.65V.

Oh cool. That system would luv the 2400MHz memory. Might have to OC the CPU a little to get the full 2400MHz. Or bump up the MC voltage on the CPU.

Set XMP profile1 and I bet the voltage will automatically be set. If not it is simple to increase it. Won't hurt a thing.

EDIT:
Most memory that high in MHz will be higher than the default 1.5V.

2nd EDIT:
All these 2400MHz memory kits are 1.65V

Those team sticks have a good cas10, too.

Thanks. 16GB of DDR3-2400 at that price almost seems to good to be true.

Team memory is actually pretty decent memory. I have used Team for several builds and they always perform perfect and are easy to OC to the next level, at least. Probably more.

Anyone know if I'll have any clearance issues with the Team Xtreem sticks? Those heat sinks look huge and some Newegg reviewers are saying the fit might be a little tight with an air cooler.

I'm ordering a Fractal Design R4, a Hyper 212 EVO and either a Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H or an Asus Z97-AR.

The 212 evo is adjustable. Can move the fan up for tall memory.

Also, the heatsink might be removable on the Team memory, if need be.

Are those heat sinks necessary?

Not so much. They are more of a gimmick to make the memory look cool, IMO. If you have a good cooling system moving the heat out of the case, that's all you really need besides the CPU cooler.
