Pros: I used hpyperx DDR3 4GB sticks that newegg has for $54.99 right now.That is 2 4gig sticks per pack 8gigs total per pack. I ordered 2 packs and that gave me 16gigs and I used 12gigs and left one ram slot open to use my hyper 212+ cpu cooler.That gave me space to use the cpu cooler with 2 120mm fans on it on the gigabyte ga-990xa-ud3 motherboard listed below in my review.I use this pc to run my games and the 12 gigs @1600 are more than I need, but you can never have to much ram.It may default the ram to 1333 but you can set it to 1600 in the bios and then put it in dual chanel mode and you will be set to go.With this board I could take off 1 120mm fan from the cpu cooler and have room to run 4 4gig sticks for 16gigs of ram.But the hyper 212+ cooler works so well I wanted to run it on my cpu.I hope this helps you out and newegg has a super price on the ram right now.I love this board and I have not had any issues with it at all.The ram works perfect with this board too...
Cons: None. This is some of the best board I have had yet.
Other Thoughts: You did not say what kind of ram you have but I hope this will help.You could do fine with 3, 2gig sticks of hyperx ddr3 ram too.I do not know what your ram needs are but you may not need to fill all the ram slots on your board to get good performance.My pc I put this in is super fast and runs very cool.I have run the cooler master hyper 212+ cpu cooler for a while now and I love it too.It will keep your cpu cool under the highist gaming loads and I would use it if you can.
(The number for the ram I used is
(KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX).
I have used hyperx ram in every pc I have built and never had to replace a stick of it.I even have hyperx ddr2 1066 ram (8 gigs) in another pc that gets 7.5 on the windows raiting thing.
Good luck and this has worked out very well for me. I hope it helps you.

Pros: Waiting on LATE power supply.? A pro? Could be..lol
Cons: I ordered a COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus CPU cooler with this. If you have the ram slots full[Like Me] the COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus will NOT FIT!!!!. If anyone has any suggestions on a cooler that will fit please post them.
Other Thoughts: In this day of instant INFO it sure is taking a long time for an answer from GIGABYTE on a CPU COOLER
