All parts are good and compatible bro, no doubt. Just get 8 GB ram because 8 GB will be more than enough for gaming. Get two sticks of 4 GB because it will enable the dual channel memory mode that doubles the original memory bandwidth. Rest are all good. Great built. Best luck.

The RAM I have is Two sticks of 8GB, and thanks so much ill probably make that change.

If you already had the ram then it is best, no need to change. All are good. Best luck.

Well I don't actually have the ram but I have it picked out to buy. What brand would you recommend? Thanks I appreciate the help!

Any brand RAM is fine. There is basically no difference between brands.

As tiny voices said, there is not much difference. But we recommend Corsair Vengeance or Gskill ripjaws because they have good warranty about 3-5 years and have a good design. Get a dual channel kit of 8 GB 1600mhz and cas 9. Best luck.

I recommend Crucial. They have the best track record and OEM many of the major brands as well.

You do not need heatsinks on DDR3 RAM as it doe snot even get warm. They are purely for show. I do not recommend Corsair as they use really tall heatsinks on 1/2 their RAM which interferes with most CPU coolers, and their low-profile RAM is overpriced.
