I just went to Gigabyte, typed in your mobo and checked the specs. Seems it'll work.

4 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 32 GB of system memory
* Due to Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR3 2133/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules

Thx my killa. I wonder what my current ram is. Can I mix and match?

RAM downclocks to the timings of the lowest stick installed in order to sync.

Can you? Yes. But like Gred said, the SPEED of the RAM will scale downwards. You'll have more capacity but it may feel the same as not having it.

Regarding ram, I recently watched and looked up quite a few benchmarks on high speed ram (with the proper CAS) vs. lower speed ram and there was maybe one or two FPS difference. After that I'm not going to upgrade my 2x8gb CAS 9 1866 PNY ram.

Sold out now. Deal was crazy hot, especially if you're still in a no tax state. I don't expect anything close to this until the line releases.

Yeah, I just buy decent ram and set an OC. The returns just don't seem to be there.

Looking for some quality headset for League and FF14 between today and Monday. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance if I don't give a quick reply.

I know the HyperX (kingston) cloud II headset was on sale for $70 via amazon, I absolutely love mine.

[Gredival]

I'll vouch for the HyperX Cloud, SteelSeries Siberia, and Logitech G930's as all being very comfortable and durable. I've had snapped earcups on Razer and some other brands before. That being said, you get more bang for the buck if you go with headphones + mic instead of a headset. You are definitely paying a premium for integration.

[Kalmado]

Another vote for Kingston Hyper X. I just have Pros but I love them.

[DrClout]

Thanks guys.

You ain't lying about the premium lol. It's been something I've been trying to avoid but also looking to keep costs low for an upcoming PC build project. Think I'll be looking at some of the Logitech stuff for the time being though.

[Kalmado]

Agreed on what Gredevial said about the cost and premium. I bought the Pro's because I had a $25 gift certificate to use with Gamestop and they were on sale for $60. Otherwise I probably would've went with some Senn's and a clip on mic.

Im looking for a new headset myself. I have the Sennheiser PC 350 Special edition. The right ear is going out and works/produces static based on the volume knob on the right ear. I was thinking about the Sennheiser game zeros since they seem to be the same model just reskinned of what I have, but I don't want my right ear to go out after 2 years again.

As an honorable mention to the previously listed headsets, I tried the Logitech Artemis G633. They were really good, especially for gaming. the 7.1 was great in BF4. But coming from the PC350SE and soundblaster z sound card, they werent up to the standards of what I am used to now for music and general use. But in games, they might have been better than what I have.

I am trying to find something as good or better than the PC350SE that uses 3.5mm jack and sound card. If anyone knows something good that isnt too expensive, I'd appreciate it. I havent heard of those hyper x cloud 2s, some people on amazon saying they now have detachable cable.
