(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So after all my spamming on this section, I've decided to actually take my time and finalize a build. Now this is a gaming PC mainly. I'm having trouble choosing what Motherboard and what company to go with for RAM.

I want a motherboard that is really reliable and will last me. (My budget will allow higher end boards like the ASUS Maximus VI Formula)

And for the RAM situation, I'm going with 8GB's but I can't choose between 1600 and 2400, and what company. I was thinking Corsair Vengance but is there anything better?

Now please don't link me items that are meant for low budget's, I'm looking more for performance not cost. And remember, I would like top of the line equipment!

Here is the build. You must login or register to view this content. This is what I have so far as I need these (Board and RAM) to continue.

Here's what I came up with. You must login or register to view this content.

I'd say with 418W's get a 550-600W PSU.

Is the Vengeance Pro gonna make a notable difference or not to the regular Vengeance? And for a CPU cooler, I was thinking a Corsair H100i, good or no?

The micro atx sniper board is around $150 and that's basically the best one in that area and would be my choice, also 90% of ram is made in the same place and just has a different heatsink on it so get what looks goof with the PC and is cheapest. And low budget and top of the line don't work with PC Parts so if you want high end parts be prepared to spend. I eddit fans build which is pretty good You must login or register to view this content.
