Hi.

I am being told, elsewhere, that my choice of Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 memory is not compatible with my intended purchase of the Asus P9X79-E WS motherboard.

Can someone advise which would be a good choice of fast, reliable (I am a trader) of RAM, that is compatible, please?

Thanks.
 
2x4GB is compatible and the set will work fine, though only in dual channel - and this is a quad channel mobo - your best bet would be to get a 4 stick set to allow for quad channel and of the sets available the Ripjaws Z are the only set really geared to the quad channel aspect of the X79 (the Z series went over so well it was also distributed in dual channel sets
