Which memory for EVGA nForce 780i SLI mobo?

[Shep_Cobain]

I want either 4gb or 8gb but if i get 4gb i want 2 x 2gb and if 8gb i want 4 x 2gb....

6400 or 8500 +?

I was thinking:

or

for 6400mhz

But im not sure what else for the 8500+ memory.... which would be best?

I mostly game and use Vista x64.

I have 2 x 9800GX2's in SLI...

Cheers.

I have had 2 x EVGA 680i followed by Asus 780i followed by MSI 780i and I am now running an EVGA 780i with SLI BFG 8800GT OC2 (G92) and E8400 @4.1 ghz. All of these used the same RAM see here.....

I always run it at 920hz at 2.1 volts and it is perfect. Price is good as well. It is still working perfectly...16 hours a day for that past 12 months.

Avoid the Ballistix. It's dying even more than the old 1gb sticks were.

Buy either the Corasir, G.Skill or OCZ 4gb kits.

Yes

and DDR3 GPU

No, any pci-e gpu will work

and 1600fsb cpu?

No, it's just stating that it supports this fsb, any lga775 core 2 duo/quad will work. Infact, some older lga775's may work too...
