Gigabyte Ultra Durable Motherboard LGA 155 Z77-D3HIntel 3rd Generation Core

I will work but I don't think it will run at 2133 MHz

1600MHz is the sweet spot for Ivybridge.

You may be lucky as the board can run 2800mhz ram with a Overclock so hopefully you might be ok.

So do you think I just should go with this:
