Are you going to be doing extreme OC'ing etc like 8Pack said? If not, there's really no point in spending £40 extra in very very slightly faster RAM at stock. The Kingston stuff I specced is great
 
yeah i know the kingston stuff is good. eventually will be trying to OC quite a bit. tbh an extra £40 in a ".2k build is unnoticeable lol
