I think I will go with this RAM and the MoBo you suggested with the NH-D14, I think I saw a video before with the same ram and cooler and it seems to fit perfectly. This may cost me at least an extra $200 but benching (something I thought about but never really considered until you brought it up tbh) seems like it would be worth it. i really wanted to build a beast of a machine and i think the extra money will be worth it for a better mobo/awesome GPU for high end gaming and benching.
I think this forums and you and ED have really brought my rig some new life before I spent the money on it and didn't get it to do everything I wanted and more. So with my specs looking like this (will change my sig in a bit) is there anything else you'd suggest?
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit OEM
Case: Antec Three Hundred Two
MoBo: ASUS Maximus V FORMULA LGA 1155 Intel Z77
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz Quad-Core
GPU: MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Lightning 2GB
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 7200RPM
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast Series TX750 V2
HSF: Noctua NH-D14
ODD: LG DVD Burner OEM
