UPDATE: Today's the day! Also, if you could exchange the cooler for an NH_C14S and stay within the budget, what would you change?

 

Here's what I would like to build on Sunday, I'm currently a little above my budget ($1100) and I'm going to Micro Center this Friday!

So if you have any suggestions, please let me know before then!

How much performance am I losing percent wise? Is there any benefit vs using lower MHz ram?

About 1% at the worst.

Interesting, will this have more of an effect on other programs that are memory hungry like photo/video editing software?

If not, what's the purpose for such high RAM speeds?

 

@Warlockben

Thanks for the visual example.

I'm going to link this video that LTT did about a year ago I skipped over the gaming results and went straight to the productivity results. The conclusion is that faster ram can give you a performance edge, but not enough to make it worth the money

It's for those looking to squeeze every ounce of power out of their machine when their budget is essentially unlimited.
