nwm got myself a MSI X99A GAMING 7 from another sale i found online hopefully will get them on Wednesday.

 

now another major problem what memory size and config to get do i really need dual or quad channel ?

 

Why bother with a 6 core x99 build if you're actually considering running without quad channel?

after paying all my pizza money to cpu and motherboard - i am just considering buying one 16gb module first and than moving to 4 16gb modules as the time comes in following 3 months or just eat some pasta and get 4x8gb modules now and run it like that since the most i use now is 28gb ram when editing and stuff. ?

Eat pasta bud!  :D

 

Get the 4 x 8gb set and you'll still have 4 DIMM slots remaining for future expansion.

 

Don't bother running a single memory channel with a x99 build.  It's against the law in some countries to do so.
