    I can go 32GB really easily. However I have 16GB of memory right now and it suits my needs as of now.

    You're enthusiast. Get the 32GB and run a big RAMdisk or something.

    Well 32GB just means buying another pack. I'll do that in the future, but if I want a RAMdisk I'll have to go 64GB at least :P

    Wouldn't bother with 32 unless you regularly use more than 8. I've tried to use 16GB and short of stupidly/needlessly large raster work I couldn't fill up much more than 10GB.

    ^ Why I don't have more than 8GB installed.

    Yeah, most people don't need more than eight, for now. It is nice to have the headroom though.

    Like Zeph, I tend to hover around 10GB during day to day use of the machine (I leave a lot open) but that includes the OS gobbling up a good amount for caching that it could manage fine without.

    Probably a good choice if they're still using Etron's USB 3 controller*. The grief I've had with USB connections spazzing out on this board; unresponsive devices, the machine being brought to its knees thanks to the driver, devices being disconnected/reconnected a dozen times a second until it bluescreens.

    *they are but it's not the same controller. I believe Gigabyte use them too anyway.

    I did not have any issues with USB controllers with either ASRock board I have owned.

    Hmm, it seems that CPUs aren't as crucial to game performance nowadays. I guess the software engineering side of gaming has really changed since the GHz war tapered out. I remember back when people still didn't really have GPUs that could give players their team colors in Halo. Moving from a 2.6GHz to a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 would give you 5 more fps. Now, there's pretty much no difference at all.

    And yeah, I upgraded my current rig to 16GB because Adobe Premiere gobbles as much memory as is available when scrubbing through footage.
