Hi,
Finally I spent my hard earned cash to buy a new mobo and ram,hdd and PSU, for my 1yr old GPU.
Current specs:
PSU: Corsair TX650
HDD: 1TB Hitachi Deskstar
Mobo: Asrock z77 extreme 4
CPU: i5-3570k
GPU: Sapphire Radeon 6570 2G
Now,all I need is RAM. Could you give me a not suggestion but a recommendation on w/c RAM to buy (NOTE: As much as possible kindly include the SKU/Part/Model# so I can check if it's listed here: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77 Extreme4/?cat=Memory)
The store near me has G.SKills only
F3-10666CL9S-8GBXL
F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL
F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
F3-10666CL9S-4GBXL
f3-12800CL9D-4GBXL
I did some research on the net but reviews on a specific SKU provides limited and some of that SKU has a bad review when comparing it to it's competitor RAM.
Btw, my friend recommends that since I'm using an Ivy Bridge CPU it's best to buy any RAM as long as the specs are: CL9, 1.5V, 1600 Mhz since that's the compatible RAM setting for an Ivy Bridge. Is that true? If it's, then what's the best RAM that has this spec?
I've read on some articles / reviews that's it's more practical in real world application to buy 1600 Mhz rather than going up to 1866 upward since price/performance difference is pretty much unnoticeable in real world.
I'm planning to OC the rig. Thanks for the reply
