What PSU are you going to be reusing to power all this?

Also, isn't it better to get a 2x8GB kit instead of 4x4GB because it leaves more room for upgrades in the future.

This is my current PSU http://www.overclock.net/lists/display/view_item/id/4459812

 

[M0j0jojo]

I get that, but OCD just hits me and i like having all my ram slots filled you know lol.

Hmm well then thats up to you....what else can I say !

 

[M0j0jojo]

Im not sure about what motherboard to choose from though. Im thinking about getting the EVGA FTW one

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188162 heard this mobo is really good with ocing. might just get this one then.

 

[tambeshakunt]

Yes, but I will always recommend ASUS boards for OCing and for high end chipsets. Just a personal preference based on their quality and design.

 

[M0j0jojo]

I thought about getting th x99 deluxe but idk, i dont like the aesthetics of it and it more expensive. so im just gonna stick with the EVGA X99 FTW. Thanks anyways. I'll select you as the solution lol.

 

[tambeshakunt]

Sure. No problem. How about the White ASUS X99 boards? They look quite nice.
