Just a quick question - I have a Maximus VI motherboard with 16GB of DDR3 1600 Corsair Vengeance Black. Adding an EVGA 980TI FTW to my build. Will the RAM restrict my performance at all? If so, what would be the least expensive fix?
 
Solution
The short answer is no. The combined specifications of memory speed and latency can affect the FPS to a slight degree, but it is not a major factor as long as the memory is decent.

As long as you have at least an i5 CPU (so it is not a bottle neck), you should be fine.

Game on!
