Hi a forum noob but not a Hardware noob, had a bad experience in my current PC with C*****R Ram so ive decided to go with G-Skill for my new system im am building, now this is the motherboard I will be buying, my question is will the Ram work, as I cannot see it in the QVL PDF from the Asus website it only lists CL9 + CL8 with no CL7 listed, thanks in advance.

Should be fine, will want the latest BIOS, then enable XMP and select the 1600 profile (looks like they had a supply of older sticks they used rather than any of the newer ones for testing, saw Flares, PIs, Tridents, reg Ripjaws).....The Ripjaws X line of sticks was designed around the P67/Z68/H67 and new gen CPUs.

Biggest advantage the 2600K has is the use of hyperthreading, if the apps you use don't utilize it, no need for it, save the extra $100.....and though you've probably already looked into it, if running 4GHz or over put something towards a decent aftermarket CPU cooler (my 2 cents)

Yeah I know about Hyperthreading if I remember correctly it was on the old P4 chips back in the day, not many games and apps support it, I will mainly game and a bit of Audio production with Ableton and FL Studio, I never overclock Ram or Video just CPU, the last 2 coolers I used were the Arctic Freezer Pro and the newer Freezer Pro 2.

Believe FL Studio uses hyperthreading (had a client that ran it) and those are good coolers, have used a number of them. With the K series the CPU OCs plenty to carry the load, I normally run my 2500K between 4.87 and on up
