Hi there. I'm looking at possible upgrade paths and am wondering if my memory is compatible with dual channel mobos.

I have 6gb (3x2Gb) Patriot Viper PC3-12800c8 1600mhz low latency triple channel memory sticks on the mobo in my sig and would like to know if these would work on a Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard [GA-Z77X-UD3H] http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-389-GI

I know ram is pretty cheap these days, but if I could retain my existing ram for a bit that would allow more cash to be spent on a larger ssd/better graphics card solution.
 
Yep, you're absolutely right, was tempted by the price of the 3750k on offer... Would be stupid to go down that path. Out of interest what mobo do you have?
