I am in the process of building my own machine (been about century since I have done this).  my mobo is an MSI 270 KRAIT Gaming.  I am wanting to put 64g of RAM (Music/Video Processing etc...) But I seem to be having some difficulty finding the right memory modules.  The specs say that it will take up to 64g of DDR4-3733+(OC).  Currently, looking some of the usual suspects (G.SKILL, Corsair, Crucial, Kingston, etc...) I can get up to DDR4-2133 RAM in a 16x4 configuration.  But most usually these are being touted as server memory (ECC).  I don't really think that I need ECC memory, but I would love to hear from the community their thoughts.  Just an FYI, I REALLY want to put 64G of RAM in this machine.  Just because I always end up thinking that after a little while things just slow down too much.

 

Thanks for you input peeps!

Why 64GB RAM when 32GB is plenty?
