Paying for the extra ram speed shows up on benchmarks, but that's about it. Especially with DDR4 on the Horizon, just stick with the 1600 for cheaper.

I see your point, but would boards now even be able to support DDR4?

*EDIT*
Sorry for double post!

the 3770k only can support up to 1866?

Some one recommended be the 655, looks like a great pump. The reason I went with the all in one is because 1) its is more ascetically pleasing 2) It takes up less space, haha i know the 810 is a big case but I dont want there to be a lack of space when I go to SLI and have to add another radiator.

Yes, and the 3570k, at least thats what Ive read and never been corrected on. Could still be wrong, but Im pretty sure. And also, the 1600 vs 1866 for ram, its most times literally cents more so just get the faster ram.
*EDIT* Also then you have bragging rights to say, HA my ram is faster... its only marginally faster, but it is faster
Also for the motherboard, I would recommend this Asrock or this Asus
And for ram, this Corsair Dominator is really fantastic!
Whichever ram you get, make sure the voltage is 1.5v or lower, has a CAS of 10 MAX, and doesnt have large heatsinks on top ie: G.Skill Ripjaws
*EDIT again* Get the 3570k as it essentially exactly the same as the 3770k but without the hyperthreading

Officially it only supports 1600. Of course, officially, it only runs at 3.5/3.9GHz also.

You realize the RAM you recommended does have large heatsinks on it, right?

Have mouse already, razer deathadder .

Sorry, I did mention this before, but get a keyboard such as the Logitech G510. And please get rid of the ****adder and get a real mouse like a Saitek R.A.T 7 or Corsair M90/M60

*EDIT*
Also, try NCIX.com they usually have slightly better deals then Newegg

Whats wrong with the deathadder lol. Have used for 5 years(more then one mouse) and It is great.
And yea, I did some research on 1600 vs faster speeds really no different, even in benchmarks. I guess ill guess put that money to something else.
