Larger RAM is bigger, disregard the memory clock speed. It doesn't matter if you install different brands of ram in your slot.

It doesn't matter if you install different brands of ram in your slot.

it does matter because then dual channel mode can cause compatibility issues, or more likely - drop both modules to slowest timings/frequency, and by that wasting some of the available performance.
But certainly, biggest module is better than fastest performing one.
and Jalicno is right - the performance boost isn't huge, but it can bottleneck some workloads.

I'm using Samsung and Hynix modules, both run at 800mhz in dual channel mode :S

but with the slowest timings.

so these are my specs   

Intel Core i7 4770k Haswell 3.5 GHz S1150 CPU Retail
Asus Maximus Vi Hero Intel Z87 S1150/DDR3/SATA3 MotherBoard
8GB Corsair Vengeance 3XS DDR3 PC1600 Memory
1000W Silverstone Modular Power Supply
2TB Seagate 3.5" 7200rpm SATA3 Hard Drive
2GB EVGA GeForce GTX 770 ACX GDDR5/PCIe 3.0 Video Card
Pioneer BDR-208EBK BDXL15xSATA DVD/Blu-Ray Writer
Microsoft Windows 8

Why would you have a 1000w PSU?

@Krissi:

Maybe the 1000W is overkill but I think he'll SLi the card soon lol

1000w is still an overkill for a SLI setup, fine for a triple or quad cards. A 850w would be fine for 2 770's.

As long as you don't mind the electrical bills, a 1.000 W power supply is pretty cool. Yet owerpowered.

Yep it is cool, we got the solar panels at home, the government always pays us money for the electricity bills thanks to our solar panels and sun

Sorry guys, forgot to include it in my list lol 

This is the one that I have
2TB Seagate Desktop 3.5" SATA3 7200rpm Hybrid Solid State Drive

[Terrorfist]

SSHD ain't worth it. It just uses the SSD to gain more write speed but will struggle because of the platter.

What kind of activities would a home user need a 3+ graphics card setup for?

I thought most people can play the latest games on max settings with one good graphics card.

You can but people nowadays need more juice to power up their system. Some people are just linking GTX 760s now lol
