Pentium K build

[milnor40]

So far, I've only ordered the Pentium K and ASRock Z97M Anniversary (would love opinions on that board too). What RAM would anyone recommend for this sort of over-clocking? Is 8GB at 1600MHz still enough for gaming, let alone OC'ing? I've had no time for computers for the better part of 5 months so I feel a bit out of the loop

Yeah 8 GB is enough, unless you're one of those 100 chrome tabs user or do editing

8gb are the sweet spot, 1600mhz is also still enough unless you have an apu, which you don't ^^. Kingston makes great ram, always recommended if you are indecisive.

I don't think you've missed much in the last 5 months

gskill 2400mhz cl9 is the stuff for overclocking.

Oops, I meant to post this in New Builds and Planning; I was looking in this section and forgot to switch before posting. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get Corsair Vengeance Pro, but what size and speed was unclear. Though, if nothng much has changed, I'll probably just go with 1 stick of 8GB so I can get another one later. I migh go for a higher speed too so I won't have to upgrade anytime soon, but then again I only reall play MMO's which require far lesser specs to run at the same equivalent as some FPS games. Are there any other general recommendations anyone could make concerning other components, mostly what CPU cooler to get I suppose...
