Should be a nice rig, if budget allows might step the DRAM up, 1600 is basic entry level

Alright! any recommendations? im trying to keep it under $2300

With the Saertooth, maybe the GSkill Snipers or the Tridents in 1866 2x8GB set, 2 sticks will be less stress on the MC (memory controller)

 

[EthanP123]

Sounds good. And 2x8 is nice because i will eventually upgrading to 32 for HD video editing and such.
