Is it just for gaming or are you doing other stuff?

Will play the odd simulator now and again but more desktop based work

Look's good to me, You could save £20 by getting this memory instead.

Was told to look at low profile in case i am going to overclock and use a big hsf

Or is it worth putting a bit extra in and getting the i7 3820 lga2011
