I am planning on going with the i7-990x with the ASUS Rampage III Black Edition and first of all I heard there was some problems with the 2600k processor not working with RAM over 1333 MHz so I want to make sure the G.SKILL PI+ Turbulence 1600 (a 6x2 GB kit) will be compatible with the 990x processor (the 2600k said it was compatible with other RAM frequencies but Intel said that using anything other than 1333 voids the warranty).
My second question would be about the video card setup. I was thinking going with 2x GTX 580s in SLI but I wanted to get a third for a dedicated PhysX card. So, my question is, would I have to use a third GTX 500 series or could I use an older, cheaper model so as not to take up another 2 slots and not have to spend another 500 dollars just for a dedicated PhysX card? Apologies if it seems like a very obvious answer, this is the first time I've planned on going with SLI (or any linked video cards for that matter, nVidia or ATI).
