I have 2 different sets of 2x4gb ddr3 1600 sticks (corsair xms3, g.skill ripjaws). I'm building a new I7 4790k, Asus Hero VII, GTX 970 system. Would you guys suggest reusing my old ram (4x4gb) or buying a new set of 2x8gb g.skill Trident X 2400 sticks? I plan on using this PC mostly for gaming. Thanks!
 
Solution
may aswell keep your old stuff, with the price of ram as it is, and you'll get marginally faster speeds with 4 sticks, and I don't see the point of any more than 16gb for gaming
