Ok guys, so.. i have a question, i'm gonna buy new pieces for pc, but, the rams.. well would it be worth getting 16 gb vengence 1866 mhz or is it worth getting 8 gb 2133 mhz and save 100 dollars ? cause 16gb costs 210 $ and the 8 gb costs 110$.. and.. im planning only to build a gaming pc, and maybe in the future to use the unreal engine 4 or the cryengine.. nothink more, would it be worth saving 100 dollars? do i actually need 16 gb rams or i can easly get 8 gb rams with much more speed, 2133 and save some moneys?

EDIT: Not planing to game only at 1080p, but to 1440p too, should 8 gigs of 2133 or 1600 be good or should i take 16 gb?
And if to go with the 8 gb of ram, would i go for 8gb corsair 8gb (2x4) 1600mhz with radiator or Kingston HyperX BEAST 8gb (2x4) 1600mhz CL9 1.65v or a single memory of 8gb vengeance 1600 mhz 1.5v radiator ?
 
Solution
I have 16 gigs and game at 1440p. If the game and other minor programs are the only things running on your desktop, 8gb is fine. I have only ever gone past that when I have like 50 tabs open AND more than one game running at once. Having the extra speed is a good bonus as well.

Other opinions? would 8 gb be good? if its good, i think im going for HyperX BEAST memory...
 
it is not mentioned i think. most board manufacturer usually brag about having them. anyway, it doesn't look like a bad board, so , enjoy


usually, the heatsink near the cpu socket, there would be one on the top area and another on the left hand area, forming an "L". these keeps the err, i think they are called (cpu) VRM.
