G Skill DDR3 1600 I am a BIT worried about this one, it says specifically designed for i5/i7. Hope it works out on my setup at rated speeds could use some input. Thanks http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-303-_-Product
If you plan on going dual cards in the future, you should have bought a 790FX board. Besides that the RAM will work perfectly, the 955 is a great CPU, and the V8 is pretty solid. Be happy with your build, it looks nice.

put it this way me going from my 4400x2 too my 720 witch it only a tri was basically night and day, certain games i had huge frame rate increases(dawn of war II, gta4, basically any cpu intensive game) and all around it was smoother running.
