Ram question; upgrade or not? Tuesday, April 10, 2012 10:21 AM (permalink)

I have a i7-930 (OC 950), ASUS Rampage 3 Gene, EVGA GTX 680 SC+, 6 gigs Mushkin Redline (6-8-6-24, 1.65v). I wanted to upgrade the ram to a 12 GB kit. Is it worth it performance wise (for gaming) or wait for a complete new build (holy trinity of PCI-E 3.0) that I will/maybe do in about 4-6 months? Recommendations?

Sometimes I just want to upgrade just to have something I think is better so thanks for the input.

If you haven't and want to, might want to put one of the 120GB SSDs in.
