DDR3 upgrade?

[dkkruse]

I just got a GTX760 to upgrade my system (see below). Should I get faster RAM as well and sell the stuff I have, or is that just an incremental change compared to my new video card?

I use the ASUS AI suite to do a little overclocking using the wizard for performance.

That depends on what you are doing with the system.
Are you using anything that requires gobs of RAM, or, are you just a benchmark nut, looking to get 1 point higher in some obscure test that has no real world value ?

Good point, I do a decent amount of photoshop and FPS gaming. I don't benchmark or anything like that, just wasnt sure if 1333 vs OC'd 2000 memory would really be that much faster in real life.

Thanks

If you were I'd think 1866 would be the sweet spot, but it won't give a huge improvement in everything, only the things that need the extra bandwidth. It may not be worth the cost.

Since you already have 16GB of ram @1333 so there is no point in upgrading unless you want faster or more ram and the performance difference is not large enough to make an upgrade worthwhile.
