Cheers man. Also, how do you make it so you can post your basket? And do you reckon I could get some 1800mhz ram for cheaper? I'm looking to buy it around mid-may/june time so yeah..

Prices may vary at the time you purchase as new CPUs are coming out such as Intel Haswell and OcUK have offers on each week

If the motherboard takes it, you can get 2133 for the same price:

The Gigabyte Z77 D3H motherboard will support 2133MHz RAM but you will need to change settings in BIOS

Thanks, Incrauze

The Z77 (and ever other 1155 chipset) doesn't benifit from RAM faster than 1600 in games.. Well worth saving your money.

What ram would you reccomend, Doomed?

1600MHz is standard memory speed, If you go for higher MHz memory speed then it's only good for benchmarking and maybe performance
