Hi guys, i had a question. i'm nearly done building my rig and all i need is some ram.
I was thinking of adding 12GB of ram, but then though, why not just get 24GB as the DDR3 prices are low, and plus i won't be upgrading this thing for another 3-4 years, maybe even more.
I was thinking, am i able to use 3 kits of 2x4GB RAM such as this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313104 ram and get 24GB for ~$150 i know that is way overkill. i'll be doing a bit of photoshop here and there, but nothing serious.
I can't decide if i should get 3x Team Xtrem Dark 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 CAS 8 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313104
Or 2x G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 CAS 9 and overclock it to 1600 and lower Latency?

Or any other 24GB RAM combo that you might think is good for around $150.
I will be using a GA-X58A-UD7 Ver 2 and 920 overclocked to 4.2. as i doubt 24GB will allows me to reach 4.4 24/7 stable with all 6 sticks. The MB is under EK full cover WB and 920 is under HK 3.0 Nickel.
