Do I need 1600 DDR3 RAM for an i5 3570k system?

Just go with the 1600, more competition in the category means cheaper prices. Also 1600 is the norm now a days.don't forget 1600 will hold more of a resell value when you upgrade you internals and switch to ddr4 in the next 3-5 years Posted from Anandtech.com App for Android

News on Ivy Bridge-E?

Evga X79 SLI a worthy purchase?

I also purchased this from new egg, $99 with mail in rebate. Cheap for the quad memory, and more pcie lanes that the x79 offers. Also 2011 socket has more room to grow then the 1155. Posted from Anandtech.com App for Android
