Memory Help!

[Jonny_uk1133]

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to ask a quick couple of questions for my new rig I'm building next week!

I'm getting the Intel Core i7-4790K (Devil's Canyon) and saw in the description that it has dual channel memory controller, does this mean it is a waste if I go for quad channel memory?

I'm trying to find the best memory for £140 to go with my rig?

Thanks guy in advance!

There is no point Quad channel memory as you will use all your slots on the board plus it will only work in dual mode anyway.

There is so much to choose from with your budget.
