Does it matter though that the voltages don't match since they are running in pairs? If I want to make them match, do I change the voltage of the lower one up to 1.5v or lower the voltage of the higher one to 1.35? If anybody could explain it to me that would be great.

Hey today I bought Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x4GB DDR3-1600 MHz 9-9-24 1.5v I want to know if it's compatible with the RAM I already have in my computer which is Crucial Ballistix Sport VLP 2x4GB DDR3-1600 MHz 9-9-24 1.35v The VLP is a bit smaller then the normal sports. I do have them both in pairs. I don't know if it's just the clock type and the clockspeed that makes them compatible or if there are more factors. I havent been able to test them because my system is having power issues. I also included a picture of the two RAM sticks for comparison http://i60.tinypic.com/2hhk408.jpg The system I am running now is: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/byMmQ7

Well I went for the MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 4G Also thew in 8GB extra RAM (Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3 1600MHz, same ones already in there) Thanks for all the advice. Next big thing will be monitor because I know that the one I have isn't that fantastic.

@BernendBoss @Rebelattack @vern021 What has a bigger effect? Buying a new monitor or upgrading to a GTX? Since they cost almost the same amount of money

Hmm ok any alternative AIO coolers that could fit? What's the benefit differences between the Asus Maximus VII and Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming??

Would a Kraken x61 fit in this case? Few questions about upgrading the motherboard. If I upgrade to a Z97 like the ASUS Maximus VII Ranger.... I can get rid of my sound card right? Because the onboard soundcard is better then the Xonar DG I have at the moment or am I wrong?

I would like to upgrade the GPU but don't know if I should jump to a 900 series or go for a 700 series... I also don't have any clue what the effect would be on my power supply for example upgrading to a 900 series

Hey I'm new here. I'm would like to upgrade my build but don't really know where to start since you have to take compatability into account. I would like better FPS gaming performance. I know that I need a CPU cooler and better fans. Just using the standard ones at the moment. Any suggestions on cooling and further upgrades. Budget is about 1000 euro max. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/byMmQ7 CPU Intel Core i7-3770 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor Motherboard Asus P8H77-V LE ATX LGA1155 Motherboard Memory Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory Storage Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Video Card MSI GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card Case Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply Cooler Master eXtreme Power 600W ATX Power Supply Optical Drive Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer Operating System Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro - 64-bit (OEM) (64-bit) Monitor BenQ GW2255 60Hz 21.5" Monitor Sound Card Asus Xonar DG 24-bit 96 KHz Sound Card Keyboard Corsair Vengeance K70 Wired Gaming Keyboard Mouse Logitech G500 Wired Laser Mouse Headphones SteelSeries Siberia v2 Headset Speakers Logitech Z323 30W 2.1ch Speakers
