HI guys, im planning on building a new PC with a Bulldozer 8150 black edition cpu with the Asus crosshair formula V mobo. What would you recommend as the best ram to pair with this.

It will be OCd, so just looking for your opinon

What will it be used for?
Likely your money is best off spent on a 2500k set up.

Well really i was just gonna test it out see what i thought. Got an i5 [email protected] running just now. Was just curious haha

I use that rig for gaming and this was mainly for my gf for video editing

You could go for a cheaper Z68 board with a 2600k, that'd be better for video editing, and much better in general.
You can still get 2600k's for 230 if you shop around.

i already tested a 8150 and they are very poor performance compared to phenom II 6 core and intels 2500k/2600k/2700k....
