I`m almost about to place my order and i`m just not sure if the memory fits in my Mobo.

The Memory is 16GB of Corsair Vengeance (2x8GB) 240pin SDRAM DDR3 1600

And the MoBo is

Asrock Z77 Extreme4

All DDR3 will fit the board. Most MB makers also have a QVL(qualified vender list) for memory, but most 8 gig sticks should work fine. They tend to have slightly lower timings(like cl10 vs 9), but it is not too much of a problem in the end.

2 sticks should also have the advantage of placing less load on the memory controller and many times you can get a better command rate timing(for all the good it does outside of benchmarks)


Ram is cheap :)
I have the same thing(well G-skill).
