If going 8GB get a 2x4GB set of DRAM, that allows for dual channel, which can provide a 10-15% performance increase. Also would go with the Asus Z97-A over the MSI mobo, I won't build on them due to their poor QC

QC - Quality Control. I have a system business and get more trouble calls for their mobos than any two other manufacturers put together, which is why I won't touch them. If you get a good one, they are good mobos, but the QC (attention to details) hurts them, often see a wide variety of problems, bad DRAM, PCI-E sockets, USB and ethernet ports, a wide variety of things, and way too often for me to think about using their mobos

hey man thanks again one more question should i go with 8gb of ram or 16gb i know it might sound dumb but do you think i need more than just 8gb lol also this is my final question wont bug you no more

What all do you do with the rig besides gaming? 8GB can get you by for gaming but if planning on this lasting awhile would consider 16GB. It's better for multitasking, video, imaging, VMs and the like and DRAM use continues to rise in games
