As most of you know I am building an IB rig and since the time is coming for the procs to be shipped out I will be buying everything very soon. Tonight I am buying some Noctua TIM my AX850 and some longer sata cables. I have a discount right now for 15% off of all ram so should I purchase some 2133mhz ram right now or wait to see what comes out at 2400 and the 2600 range?

I posted in another thread that I did not want to go over 10 CL 9 is preferable and I would love some mushkin problem is the redline series does not match my build (colors being white, black, blue).

For those that own some G.skill ram how do you like them? They have some models that are the perfect color but i have never used them and I love my mushkin ram.

G.Skill RAM is very good in OC and stability and price performance as well

I'd go for the 2133 now. Prices are fairly low for good quality ram. I have 16GB G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series DDR3-2133 and really like it. It's CAS is 9 and OCs very easily. Plus... it looks nice and matches my rig. Not sure where you are purchasing your parts, but I usually get all my stuff from Newegg.com. Great prices and excellent customer service.
 
Personally I would take advantage of the discount code and purchase some decent 2133 ram and you can always upgrade later to faster kits if need be and sell the other stuff.

G.Skill ram is good stuff, I am not a fan of the heatsink design personally, but if it matches your build go for it.
 
What board with this build??? and what RAM exactly are you thinking of as IVY IMC is very strong you want the latest IC's stuff that leaves headroom for clocking.
 
As of right now I am undecided about the board. I really do like the z77 sabertooth from asus but the msi and gig board are also bad ass. The memory I am looking at is mushkin redline ridgeback. 8 or 16 gig. The only reason why I have not bought the ram is due to aesthetics, my rig is white, black and blue. Well those sticks are red... I was trying to find something out about painting them but no luck so far.

8 I see in your sig that you are running gskill rip z's. How are they running for you?
