Hey guys i am thinking about building a new gaming PC

But my question is what RAM should i go with. Is it worth getting really fast RAM like Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB

that Logan has bin drooling over or would i be better off with somthing like this G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB

What would i see a bigger performance boost in less RAM but at a faster speed or more RAM at a slower speed or would i be better off with some 1600 speed RAM.

for the motherboard i was thinking maybe ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 but then i can not get the Kingston HyperX Beast

For gaming there isn't much difference between an i5 and i7 except the price tag. For gaming there isn't much difference between 8 GB of 1333/1600 MHz ram and 32 GB of 2400 MHz ram. For gaming the graphics card comes first. CPU, motherboard, RAM second. Actually a good quality power supply would come first for any computer build. Anyways, what graphics card are you planning on getting?

@EdTheTech has a good point! I chose the 2500K over the 2600K a year ago simply because it was cheaper and I just wanted to game.

A Kingston HyperX Beast ist ONLY usefull in rendering pc's.
