What ram do you think?

[sterlinglee38]

Hello all,

My name is Lee and I'm new here and new to overclocking(but willing to learn). I am currently building my first computer build. I have been using computers for many years though, so I have some knowledge. Now you might not agree with my choices for my build, but it's my choices, so live with it, lol. So I'll list it.

Case: Coolermaster Haf 922 Black with red lights

Cpu cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212 plus

Processor: Intel core I7 950 quad core

Mobo: Asus Sabertooth X58

GPU: not bought yet,but thinking Nvidia 460, in my price range

MY question is, what ram do you think I should by for this. I want triple channel, but want something that will be compatible and good ram.

Any thoughts? Input is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Lee

Get yourself some Mushkin Ram

Mushkin Blackline 6GB

I like the Ripjaws, but when it comes to ram, do you get what you pay for? Ripjaws being the cheapest of the 3.

hmm, I'll look into the Mushkin

Kinda like these, costly, but I think it would be a good buy

Very good ram i was going to suggest them but went for the budget ones for ya instead but if ur willing to pay for the ridgeback definitely get them

Do the ridgebacks set pretty high? Just wondering if I have to worry about my cpu cooler hitting the ram.
