Hi guys, this be my first post 
My question is as above. I've decided to upgrade mobo/cpu on a budget, the rig in my sig is on its way to completion (got the mobo on ebay for 100 and CPU for 200). All additional cooling, cable extensions, drive bays etc purchased here
Now the final piece of the puzzle is the RAM. I want to use up to a third of it for HDD caching and/or RAM disk but cannot decide on whether to upgrade to 16 or go with 32gb
Should i sell my current and go for a 32gb kit rated at 2600mhz for a guaranteed b/w boost or buy another dual kit of 8gb Dom. GT 2133C9 and overclock it?? It might be capable of 2600mhz+ at max voltage of 1.8-1.85? Can't test current DIMMs yet as my old mobo is a rather classic 790i and the Q6600+mobo won't go above 1920mhz anyway.
