Hi, i'm in the process of putting together a cheap i5 2500k build and have found this ram on OcUK http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-177-OC&tool=3

I was wondering if it would be suitable to use in this motherboard? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-036-OP

I am not really into overclocking, but I understand that the i5 2500k is an easy cpu to get some extra power from and want to know if that ram is going to be fit for purpose?

Thanks

It would work fine - but as your building a system around a quality CPU and MB i would recommend the XMS3 12800 (1600MHz) - link.

It has a proven track record with 2500K systems and will usually run at 1.5V.

Or with this.

Go with the XMS3 recommended by Plec. I swear by it (never had a failure/fault over several builds).

Superb memory XMS3 12800 (1600MHz), never had a issue with it.
