Hello Everyone, I ordered all my parts for my new build (I'll post specs in bottom) except the memory (and a fan controller)
I'm having a tough time trying to decide which ram to go with right now... I'd like to order it today so that it'll come at the same time as my other stuff
I can't decide if I want one of these RAMs. I'm pretty much set on G Skill as my old build had DDR2s, and they worked very well for me. it was a great setup
Here are the Ripjaws X I'm looking at (diff CL and speeds)
Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 - $69.99
Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1866 - $69.99
And the Sniper series
Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 - $54.99
Sniper Low Voltage Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 - $64.99
Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1866 - $64.99
From my research, the low voltage Snipers don't tend to overclock very well, and then I don't see any diff between the same voltage ripjaws X and snipers...
I would like to hit 2133 if possible.
The main purpose of this rig is gaming, not benching, and it looks like when it comes to gaming there is very MINIMAL diff when getting better CL or higher speeds past 1600, but I wanted to ask the makers of the sticks
I don't want to go over the 70 dollar limit with shipping, so these are all under that. Also, I don't really care too much about the looks as my case doesn't have clear side pane, and even if it did it's againt the wall. I don't really show off my rig or anything... lol so looks aren't too important either.
Here are specs -
i5 2500k
Asus P8P67 Pro
gtx 560ti
Corsair H80
Corsair Nova 2 SSD
WD Black Caviar 1TB HDD
