    This would be what your looking for.

    Im not super familiar with the impact of memory bandwidth on the 990FX platform. This might be way overkill.

    I say it is overkill right now to go that high with the RAM.

    Leaving the AMD team now aren't we. I am thinking about upgrading in the near future. I thought for sure bf3 was going to make me do it but my 955 is doing a great job.

    If it will bottleneck my next GPU I will upgrade.

    For gaming I would look more into low latency ram then high frequency. You probably will save a few bucks.

    BTW, I'm using that exact RAM on my recent build, no issue with it though I've yet to push it. Running at ~1666mhz right now, will push when I feel I need to...
