Hi, I'm going to be building my first computer and I am going with the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe. Its 'memory standard' is DDR3 1600, but I'm confused since some other DDR3 mobos (such as one of the MSI's) standard is 2133 O/C. I was wondering if I could if I could buy something higher like 2000, and would it work? Or how high can I O/C 1600, if at all? Actually anyone who wants to help with everything would be nice
