Hello,

I'm thinking about buying this memory - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMK64GX4M4B3333C16R-Vengeance-Performance-Desktop/dp/B019X5VVFK

Can I get anything better for the price (in the UK)?

I need 64GB because I run virtualizations on my system.

Will use it with i7 5820k CPU and ASUS x99-A II motherboard (haven't ordered it yet, so can be changed if you recommend other MB).

I want to overclock the CPU and memory - not sure if I should use 100 or 125 BCLK, this article shows much lower CPU overclock at 125 (3.7GHz CPU, 3GHz memory) vs 100 (4.4GHz, 2.4GHz memory).

Thanks..

The x99-A II is easily the best value x99 board on the market with a mix of great features and build quality, go for it! :)
Good CPU choice as well.
Use the BIOS to overclock the CPU through the standard apply extra voltage and clock multiplier, stress test repeat until you reach your desired clock speed with good stability.
For RAM just go into the XMP profile and set frequency to what your RAM is rated for.

How to best overclock the CPU and memory? And which motherboard should I choose?

Thanks.

Should I use 100 or 125 BCLK? Or do I have to try both to see which one will be more stable?
