My only concern with this build is using the dual channel RAM. I would like to get a 16g Quad channel set, but I've heard that there isn't really much difference in performance???? They may just mean that using 2x2x2x2 isn't better than 4x4, but not sure. Can someone clear this up for me as well please? Again, much appreciation.
