Fixed the link, but see terry provided one.

No, I don't think the extra $100 is worth it, doubt there would be any performance gain in daily use, only in benchmarking.

I would go the Optimized for 6th Gen G.Skill V.  > http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820231902It has been tested on your MB, > http://www.gskill.co...2484&model=2492

 If you look at the timing, it is different than the V series that includes X99 Platform.

Thanks! I was leaning towards that or the second set, but that pretty much ends the debate.

Your welcome  

We look forward to the results.

Welp, one more thing has come up.

 

Someone suggested that I change up my mobo, not for anything specific, but just in general that I should change from a LGA 1151 to a LGA 2011-v3. When I asked what the difference was and why I should switch, they gave the answer:

 

"It has 6+ core CPUs."

 

I looked up what I could find, but there isn't much explaining the difference beyond the number of points that connect to the CPU. What's the difference, and should I care?

should I care?

nope, stick to the 1151.

 

gaming rigs don't need 6 core cpu's and besides that intel haven't brought out any skylake cpu's for 2011 sockets yet.

Thanks for the quick response!  

 

I think that about wraps up the design then. Will update when I complete the build. If I have any other questions, I'll bring them back here.

 

Thanks again for all of your help you two!
