Memory and storage upgrade

[dwg1967]

 

Hi Linus,
I have been following this channel and several other tech channels, some you have been on as well.I am a PC tech and enthusiast, gamer and I am always looking for insight from others in the PC community to make me a better system builder and also continue leaning to grow in my career path as well. I have a couple of questions that I thought you could enlighten me on. My current system consists of NZXT Phantom 820 case, NZXT Kraken AIO, Asus Sabertooth X99, Core i7 5960X OC to  4.5Ghz @ 1.35 V, 64 Gb Gskill Ripjaws RAM 2133, Asus Strix GTX 970 in SLI OC to Boost clock 1400 Mhz, Memory Clock 7310 Mhz, Crucial MX 500 SSD 512 Gb, WD 1 Tb black HDD, WD 2TB Green. SSD is for Windows 10, Black HDD programs, Green HDD storage.
First I have tried to OC memory but no XMP profiles I can drop the timings but not get past the 2133 MHZ running and stock voltage is that my problem?
Second I have been considering upgrading to a Intel 750 SSD for boot drive and a Mushkin Reactor 1 Tb SSD for my programs and games. Then using my 512 SSD as a backup to write to for a RAM disk. I have also thought of replacing RAM with some 2800 MHz. I would appreciate your feedback

Is this a troll?

Is this a troll?

Probably. Or, a rich person, which is just one of the specific variations for "dumb people".

 

OP, if you are the later, then please send me an MP with your Skype ID, so I can call you and spend a few hours teaching about hardware. Because really, that's just how bad things are.

 

Naturally, I will answer the questions made in OP, but I just don't feel that I'm capable of doing it within the constraints of a forum post.

you must have won the lottery

 

as for the ssd...if you can afford it

then yea the intel 750 is an awesome drive

as for the memory..I wouldn't bother

ram speed hardly matters
