Hello...
so im looking at buying the ASRock 970 Extreme3 Motherboard http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?model=970 extreme3 to replace my currectly dead gigabyte board.
EDIT: cheapest motherboard i could find with some form of VRM cooling, i plan to overclock to 3.7-3.9
as you can see i currently have 4gb of ram, however im thinking of selling those sticks for $50 and buying 4x 8GB of Ram. you may be wondering how im going to use that much ram? well i want to create a massive ram drive .
now i hate waiting for things to load and in MMOs, there is a lot of items maps and textures to load all the time. currently WoW is my mmo of of choice, its install size is 22-24GB atm and thus would easily fit into Ram and leave about 8gb spare.
the price for 32gb of ram seems to be around $200-$250.
Now the other option is to buy 16GB (10GB for cache) of ram for $75 and another Vertex 3 SSD ( $100 ) for raid0. total price $175.
EDIT:
this is the software ill be using to cache wow with 16GB of ram.

i have not decided what im going to use for 32GB...
maybe something like Dataram Ramdisk.
EDIT 2:
this is also a bit of an experiment i have wanted to do for a long while. (run wow from a proper ram disk)
