i am wandering which is better between these 2 rams

G.skill RipjawsX 16GB (2 X 8GB) DDR3 2133 CL9 1.6v Dual Channel Memory Kit

G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 2400 CL10 V1.65 (i can't get 2x8gb in my country and the shipping cost will be too high for me"

Note:not planning on overclocking now but it will happen in the future and i will mainly use this pc for gaming

my motherboard will be one of these still haven't decided yet
GA-Z97X-SLI Socket 1150 Motherboard
MSI Z97 GAMING 5 Socket 1150 Motherboard
Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z97 Socket 1150 Motherboard i am more into this one to be honest

also about the psu i am planning to get this one ZALMAN ZM850-GVM 850W PSU for future SLI
if you have anything better at the same price please reply with its name
thank you

What CPU? Will need a K model and prob to OC to run 2400 sticks. Of the mobos, I'd go with one of the GB boards, and prob the Sniper, good mobo. PSU should be fine 😉

the cpu is i7-4790k
and i am more into G.skill RipjawsX 16GB (2 X 8GB) DDR3 2133 CL9 1.6v Dual Channel Memory Kit
because its 2x8gb and cl9 2133 i heard that more than 1866 wont affect gaming much so its cool and its cheaper and i also heard 2x8gb is better than 4x4gb

2x8GB is better as it's a little less stress on the MC (memory controller), and the 2133 will give a boost up in gaming depending on the game, more and more games are utilizing DRAM better so the higher data rate helps

so i will go with that do you know if NZXT Source 210 Mid Tower Case can fit x2 GA gtx970 g1 gaming ?
