If you plan on overclocking, I'd recommend getting some 1866 or 2000 mhz RAM. |

I'd stay away from OCZ. I had a set of ram that was a little iffy, especially with overclocking. I currently have a set of G.Skills and love them.

In that case, it is well worth it to get 1866 RAM. Anything over a 200 bus, and you're going to be limiting your RAM.

I can't recommend OCZ memory any longer.
And I can't recommend any brand clocked over 1600 that are also under $200. Here's the best: CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Model CMG6GX3M3A1866C7 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145254 |

Sucks prices have gone up so much. Couple months ago I got a set of Kingston HyperX 2000 cas 9s for less then $150 off newegg.
Id have to say this is your best bet. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231306 |

If you havent got the mobo yet, Id recomend the Gigabyte X58A-UD3R. Seems to be the best board around $200 or less. No 222BCLK limit, supports tri-fire and 3xSLI, and has SATA 6Gbs and USB3.0.

do u think i will be able to reach 4ghz maybe a little 4.2ghz on a i7 920 with it?
Additional Comment: looks like good board btw Additional Comment: because if i can, thats pretty much all i want: 4.0ghz to 4.2ghz ,on 920, running standard or little overclocked memory, have new sata ports and usb, and able to run 5850 this year add end of year crossfire 2x 5870's to it. That is my basic simple plan... oh and fit a noctua nh14 or maybe a TRUE... Last edited by aSilva : 01-19-2010 at 11:43 PM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
