Newegg has the CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 15000 1866 Desktop Memory (CMZ32GX3M4X1866C10R) for $240 - $20 off with coupon code CORS619 [Exp 6/20] = $220 with free shipping. Features timings of 10-11-10-30. For the builder who wants it all.
Lots of memory isn't just to do huge jobs, it's also so you have a persistent filecache to greatly limit HDD reads. You think an SSD is fast? Nowhere near as fast as already having the file in main memory. The drawback is hibernating takes a lot longer.
Corsair Vengeance is definitely a buy in regards of building a computer on your own. I strongly recommend this b/c of the quality.
who would need 32gb
?
#2, you can never have enough memory.

overkill...lol
Split it between two builds!
More like split it between four builds.
if you are gaming or video rendering. it's never enough. of course you have to coup that with a bad ass graphic card
Great for running OSX and Linux in virtual machines, eg VirtualBox.
If you think an SSD is fast, then do some graphics processing or a compile in a ramdisk like Dataram.
16GB is standard for me.
Wow, and I thought 8gb for RAM was already too much
I got bluescreens w/ mine. Seriously. Stick w/ my triple channel (X58) ADATA. Scores 8.4 in Win 8 CPE.
Too rich for me. I like budget deals with no rebate.
