yikes... ok i guess i can step down 2 ram slots...
damn! ok is there ANY way to get more than 4 ram cards on my motherboard with socket 1155?
If that, is in fact the case, you are going to need a lot more than $500. And please keep in mind, there is no such thing as "future proof". We can help you put together a system that will be technology sound for about 4-5 years max for around $2k. Of course it's expensive, you're building a gaming rig.
You don't need more than 4 slots. Period. At most you could conceivably need is 16gb of memory. And that is if you are doing serious video editing. Look at my system specs in my spec tab. I play BF3 on Ultra settings with 1080p resolution and get 60fps. My build cost me about $1800.
i only have 500. i might be able to pull 600 but thats the maximum. maybe later i might be able to buy better components but i dont plan on moving out anytime soon haha
ok... fine then 16gb it is. so i guess il just get this setup?

lol, well, that's a loaded question. Do you know how to assemble everything? Also, you need to order some ArticSilver to reseat the cpu into the new motherboard Newegg.com - Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound - Thermal Compound / Grease
