Pretty much yes. Regarding overclocking, buy the system first and find out how to overclock after. |

OT a while. I guess my going-to-coming soon setup is going to break the 3K budget.
Hmm guess before I myself going for overhaul, I will seek $face for some advice.

Yes the motherboard has 4 slots. I don't know if that set of G.Skill RAMs comes in a single stick or as a pair though. If it's a paired kit you must slot each pair into the same colour slot. RAM slots are colour coded. Eg. 4 slots 2 will be blue the other 2 white. |

Basically H80 performs the same as H2O 920. And 650W is still more than enough.
