Since I am buying from a website I can only get a motherboard from those choices. WHich one would allow me to use 2 GTX 295's and the highest type of DDR3 Ram without any problems?

#1 gigabyte
#2 P6T DLX.

i would get some DDR3-1600 cas8 ram..

 

[Impressive]

can you show me a link where i can buy the best possible ram for the P6T DLX.

and can i run 2 GTX 295's with the Deluxe P6T?


also i here some say you cant use really high ram on the P6t because it runs in OC setting or something like this. does anyone know what this means and which one of the above motherboards would let me use the best possible ram and 2 GTX 295's?

Are these ok?

the ones u recommended hat a heat pipe on top of the rams. not sure if when i build the system that will be in the way etc..


also can either the EVGA or P6T Deluxe run this ram with no problems? i am not sure what is means but some people say that certain motherboards let you run the ram but in o.c setting etc..

 

[Evilsizer]

any x58 would be able to run the ram no problem. i didnt suggest any ram, just a speed with timings.
i would get this kit though, since its not that costly.
