That may be the case, but if the memory controller on the CPU isn't running at 1600, the RAM won't be either.

Yeah, I don't know about what the manufacturers do at that point.

And Dowps, wait like 5 min and I'll edit in a reply for you.

The i25 is the best value, but the Premium with the 3820 will be the best performer, but not by too much. I'm not sure if the additional 5000SEK is really worth it for gaming. The 3770 alone is overkill for your needs, but the other parts in the system at that price make it the best value. The 3820 does provide quad channel memory and the opportunity to upgrade to a six core CPU, but I highly doubt you would do that (another 3700SEK).

Go with the i25.
