Hey!
Im building a new rig mainly for gaming but I im still going for the i7 series, mainly just because I can but also I might mess around with editing software in the future, so also to be safe.
anyways, to the point; fist off, this is my setup sofar:
Asus Sabertooth Z77 (mostly for the aesthetics of the heatshield)
Intel Core i7 3770k
Corsair Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133mhz 2x4gb
EVGA GTX670 FTW
Samsung 830 Series 128 GB (for games)
Corsair Force Series 3 120gb (for OS)
Fractal Design 1000w PSU (might chance that to one with a hybrid fan control for a more quiet rig)
Now for my questions:
1) Can the motherboard even fully use the fast RAM, if I look at the specs of the MB it supports up to 1866mhz?
2) Would it be better to get 4x4gb 1866mhz insted?
3) I am seeing quite a few of the "experts" on various youtube channels using the LGA2011 for their personal rigs, what are the pros and cons for that socket and the processors for it?
I hope that someone is able to answer my questions, and if you cant see it in my post, im not an expert I have basic knowledge to the point that I have made 2 gaming rigs before without any problems (both picking out the parts and assembling it..)
thanks in advance!
