My overall internal theme is blue / blue LED. But I'm not too worried about what's on the motherboard fitting that—I just want what will do me the best. I'm choosing between the four I'm showing here.
Quick specifics:
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
** As we can see here, it says it supports up to 32GB (I plan on just starting with 16GB, however—I most likely won't need the other half and if I ever do I'll just add more). It's got four (4) memory slots (240-pin each). The memory standard is DDR3 1866/1600/1333/1066. Supports dual channel. I'd prefer sticking with 1866, but if some 1600's will do me better, so be it.
I'm putting this together for very quickly performing everyday tasks and being capable of running AutoCAD, Inventor, Revit, Dropbox, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Photoshop, Microsoft Office 2010/2013, etc. and still running without a problem and with great quality. (I'm a Drafter / web Designer so I need speed and quality.) Not sure how much SDRAMs actually affect the speed of the system so I wanted to quickly throw that info out there, just to be safe.
------------------------------
I don't have any experience with picking SDRAM at all so I'm not sure if higher or lower timing/cas latency numbers are better, so if anybody could help clear this up for me in their answer I'd be most appreciative.
What I'm choosing from (in no particular order):
1. CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10B
2. CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMY16GX3M2A1866C9B (Blue)
3. CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMD16GX3M2A1600C9
4. CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model CMZ16GX3M2A1600C9
Thank you so much for any help! I really appreciate it!
