Am currently looking to upgrade to 64GB RAM

[ISleepTheDayAway]

Before saying things like "oh you don't need that" or "how could you possibly need that?!" I don't, probably, my company basically told me to make a list of parts and pieces will full expenses paid for my editing and rendering rig.

I'm currently planning on getting this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231523

Anything better/cheaper on the market? (I don't want my boss to have a heart attack, so price vs performance is still something to be considered.)

Does the mobo support up to 64 gb? If this is for one PC?

If your boss is going to have a heart attack go down to 32GB lol.

Above is the list for ram. Not much cheaper on the market.

Ok, most motherboards can't even go up to 64 GB unless it's REALLY high-end. Try 32Gb instead bro... lol

Good sticks, will need an X79 mobo, socket 2011 - what mobo/CPU combo are you looking at

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116938
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128562

We already have both purchased. I'm not new to computers, but RAM is not my forte.

Should be good to go, would stick w/ the RJ Z sticks and go with 2133/9

Thanks, if you don't mind me asking, why those ones over what I linked? Like the pros of it?

You linked to the 2400 set, with your mobo I'd suggest the 2133 set, very few 2011 mobos can handle the 2400 sticks effectively at 64GB....
