Missing_Link
Level 7
New here and just like to say hello to all the mods and members first.
Starting new build and just need a little advice on some parts.

Parts Already.

Motherboard, Asus Rampage Extreme iv.
CPU, Intel 3930k.
GPU, Asus GTX 780.
SSD, Intel 520s 240gig.
Case, Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower.
All parts brand new and still in boxes.

Parts Considered.

PSU, Corsair 860i.
Water Cooling, Corsair h100i.
Memory/Ram i cannot decide on memory for the life of me
there is to many to pick from, that being said i was looking at
Corsair 16GB (4x4GB) 2133MHz DDR3, Dominator GT. or
Corsair 32GB (4x8GB) 2133MHz DDR3, Vengeance Pro.

I know the GT is very fast memory but it's only 16gig will the GT
out perform the 32gig of vengeance pro.
Appreciate any advice on memory modules and i have never used any
other type of memory than corsair and will the PSU and watercooling
be adequate for this build...Thanks for any help. cheers.

Congrats.

I am very happy with my RIVE+3930K+SSD+H100i, the only headache i have is that i keep testing my rig day and night to get the best out of it before i plan for OC later.

I was going to say the company but i thought it may be against forum rules...Company is Umart on the Gold Coast but the main store is in the suburb Milton in Brisbane...So usually if it isn't in stock on the Coast they send it down from Milton in a day or two...and if all else fails i go to a company in Springwood called Gamedude about 30mins drive from mine.

Nice, Umart has pretty good prices, though...Gamedude are expensive aren't they?

It's abit of a catch 22, sometimes hardware is cheaper at Gamedude than Umart and vice-versa, they compete very well...Only really good thing about Gamedude is they always get the newest hardware way before Umart.

Hahaha and I know an online retailer who is cheaper than both of them 😉 but the company is based in Melbourne, add in shipping and it'd be just a bit dearer than buying from Umart or Gamedude lol
