I know you asked in the another thread about RAM, but I honestly can't see any reason for you not to build with 8gigs of RAM - other than the small increase in cost. You'll wish you did if you don't. Mostly a suggestion, but RAM is something you can never have enough of.. IMO :mrgreen:

Also, upgrade the ram to DDR3 2000MHz. It's like adding a funnel to your 12-pack. ;)

If ya don't get 500MHz more out of it, i'd be dissapointed (and surprised).

If you can get an extra 500MHz out of the RAM, I'd be very impressed.

Corsair's xms3 1600 will easily do 2000 with no volt increase or timing change with perfect stability.
