I am still new to Internet. Hello.
I was recently given an ASUS Sabertooth Z77 LGA 1155 motherboard with an Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz processor. I currently have just the stock CPU fan that came with the two, and I had a 900W PSU laying around as well (also a spare chassis). So I'm almost there, on getting this rig up and running. As far as the RAM goes for this MoBo, I was considering investing in http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233271 32GB (4x8) @ 1866MHz modules ... in a nutshell I want to basically Max this system out--aside from the Video Card that is. Would putting this RAM onto the board be overkill, or should I just invest in something less expensive that will still get just as good a job done, versus attempting to try to Max this system out? Considering I have, currently, just generic HDD's & an "outdated" video-card (EVGA 250 GTX) ... no SSD to even utilize it with, although I intend to eventually install a PCIe SSD adapter to get the most out of an SSD ... if those current PCIe SSD's (without Adapters/Converters) don't drop in price any time soon that is.
Also, when this does get up and running I would appreciate some feedback/assistance on OverClocking from anyone that may have already had a similar build, or just willing to help.
Thank you.
