Damn, unlucky timing for you.

I don't even know what timing I am missing.

DRAM timing. Don't settle for less than CL15 and 3000.

I checked the mobo specs and it looks like 2666 is what it will support. LINK Ordered that just now.

Definitely the sweet spot. I've got some Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 8GB. I think anything above 3000 is overkill.

It's not just about speed. Higher speed with high latency doesn't mean better

Yeah, where did this myth come from that there's a magic ratio of frequency to cas latency? Need to look at the numbers as one thing, nanoseconds.

Are nvme drives worth the extra money? Or just get a ssd?

It was worth it for me since the price difference was only $20 and I'm a cable Nazi. I think Newegg has the 960 Evo for $100 with free shipping.

Damnit Fry's cancelled my mobo and processor order. Now I'm back to the drawing board.

What do we have in BR for PC hardware? Computer Heaven? They'd sell you a 5-year-old chipset for $200.
