ohldboy Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 SATA 6.0 is backward compatible with SATA 3.0, PCIe 3.0x16 backwards compatible with PCIe 2.0x16. You will be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it plus any 1600MHz or higher 8GB (2x 4GB) kit you like to have. Edited July 22, 2013 by d6bmg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d6bmg Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 thank you, i hope so.... Currently price of different RAM kits are way too high. So, it would have been a good option for you to buy a a normal 1600MHz kit first and then buy a 2133MHz or anything higher frequency 16GB kit only after the price comes down.

I agree, 2133mhz is already overkill, the performance isnt that much of an increase compared to how much money you put in 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
