I'm planning a major upgrade to my system - ASRock Z87 Extreme 4 motherboard with Intel i5 4670K (Haswell) processor - and once I add a Corsair H90 AIO water cooler, I hope to overclock it to around 4.4GHz.
However, I'm not sure about memory. Should I just get standard 1600MHz memory or is it worth getting 2133? Would I see much difference, will it work at 2133 by default (presumably not) and would overclocking it affect the CPU overclock? Also, is it work paying more for CL9 over CL11? I'm thinking G.Skill RipjawsX 2x4GB but don't know which ones to go for.
Any and all thoughts about this would be very helpful, thanks.
