So this is my first build and so far everything has been going good as far as choosing parts but when it comes to RAM I am lost. Just to give you an idea of where I am at here are the components I've decided on so far:
Mobo: MSI 790FX-GD70
CPU: AMD Athlon II x4 620
GPU: Sapphire HD 4850 (512)
HSF: Xigmatek Dark Knight
Now I get to the RAM and I have no idea how much I need, how it should be broken up (how many cards), how OCing my CPU will effect it, and am completely clueless about OCing RAM and it's pros/cons. I'm guessing I'm going to need at bare minimum 4G of DDR3 RAM at at least 1333Mhz.
Also you should know that this computer is being built primarily for lots of multi-tasking rather than gaming. I also will be OCing the CPU.
The only write-up i've found somewhat useful so far is the most recent DDR3 artivle4 here on the site:

Any help/suggestions as to what I should/need to run are much appreciated.
