Yeah, 1.5 volt RAM.

There's not much to be gained by going above 1600 or maybe 1866 speed RAM. Higher is faster, but you pay dearly for very small and likely unnoticeable increases. 1600 is kind of the de facto choice, but occasionally you can find 1866 at virtually the same price.

If you got a non-K processor, no sense in getting an overclocking motherboard. I think the Z97 is an overclocking board if that's what you got?

I see,yup i got the VII Hero...but if its pointless to have this MB,what should i get(ASUS Versions) ? i still haven't opened its box yet so i could change it with another.....

Not familiar with that particular board, but generally you could step down to a less expensive board from Asus, Asrock, or Gigabyte.

Just make sure it has the features you need--enough ports of the proper speed, enough slots and connectors for whatever you intend to attach to it. That board is over $200---I'd think you could do very well at the $150 level.

The Hero board may have some features you need other than overclocking that might make it worthwhile enough to keep even though you aren't overclocking. You'll have to investigate.

If that's the case then i should change it,better get something just for the use...yes ill start doing a full search starting right now.
Thanks !

Is this good,performance an stuff ? and compatible with all the parts that i have ?

GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-GAMING 7 Intel Z97

GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1150 - GA-Z97X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0)

If i get this ill be using the extra $ to get the Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB instead of the HyperX 3k 240GB
