Stay away from overclocking if you haven't done it before. This processor is fast enough even at its stock clocks. You can fit memory up till 16GB on this motherboard, but it only supports till a maximum speed of 1333Mhz. So those Vengeance rams would work, but at 1333Mhz.

[MENTION=46942]saadi939[/MENTION]. Don't get those fancy RAMs, get simple Value RAMs from Kingston or Corsair whichever you find cheaper. :)

New Sandy Bridge CPUs don't benefit from those high speed RAMs (i.e. 1600, 1866 or even 2133MHz) as these chips already have built-in memory controller.
Only Hyper-Threaded CPUs such as 2600k can take "little" bit advantages whereas your selected CPU doesn't have HT (don't quote me does it matter?) The answer is no, it doesn't matter in gaming.

Having said that, today's RAMs operate at 1.5v and under, you don't need heat-spreader/heat-sinks on the RAM either for those voltages unless you're overvolting them. Hence, I'd rather suggest get VALUE rams like Kingston Value RAM. (y)

Kingston value RAM it is as Styles suggested 1333mhz 2x2gb is enough if you are opting for 32bit OS else go for 2x4gb or 4x2gb 1333mhz Value RAM if you are opting for 64-Bit OS.

what will be the difference ill get if i operate a 64-bit OS .... i think i always had a 32-bit ....
Click to expand...
64-bit windows would recognize all 4GB ram or even higher, whereas 32-bit would only recognize around 3GB, regardless of that fact of how much memory you've already installed (may it even be more than 3GB, it wont recognize it).

32-bit days are gone! Start using 64-bit (also known as x64) operating systems, it can even run 32-bit applications. :)

All the best, and make sure you get 2 x 4GB sticks or a single 4GB for the time being, don't get 2 x 2GB, by doing this you'll waste your precious RAM slot. (y)

Plasma technology is over since a while. Its pixels die out in time. Try to find something in LED/LCD (which is what's being used these days).

What's your exact budget and how much you can stretch? Any particular size requirement? I feel 3dtv only looks good in 40''+ else you cannot get the feel.

im planning to buy 560ti. was going through marketplace and found this http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f64/colorful-igame-gtx-560-ti-122386/. so my question is how would u guys rate Colorful products?
Click to expand...
It's a risk of 20K see if you can bargain some as it doesn't have local warranty and about Colorful hmm i have seen some reviews on wccftech looks OK and

I'm a bit confused to decide as the link provided says its 560Ti not 560Ti DF? Confirm this first if its the latest version.

Your best bet wil be to make a WTB thread in marketplace and buy a slightly used Sparkle 560Ti DF as i have seen one in action at Dragger's place its quite cool and in local warranty too. In 20-22K you can easily get one.

I recently bought Logitech G500. Looking for a decent mousepad that would work flawlessly with it. Nothing too overly expensive, but within reasonable limits.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
