Hi,

I've decided to go for a 3570K and a GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-D3H mobo

I now need some tasty RAM to go with it.

I'd like the best bang for buck possible and not less than 2x4gb

- I'd also quite like some that is good looking as I've just ordered a windowed case. Lights? :D

£60 max budget but like I said bang for buck is key.

It also needs to fit under my Titan Fenrir Evo but that's not so big compared to some other coolers out there.

Thanks so much all!

I've just got some Kingston Hyper x 8GB blue ram, and they look awesome, haven't used them yet but they do really look wicked. Good luck for whatever you choose though :)

Not flashy but is by far the best bang for buck. Should be overclockable to 2133MHz quite easily. It's quite often on sale for around £35 as well.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Samsung Green (MV-3V4G3D/US) 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz 30nm Dual Channel Kit £49.99
Total : £52.27 (includes shipping : £1.90).

I was considering that one. It's not flashy but it's reputation is amazing. I just don't know if I'm comfortable pushing it to it's capabilities fully - bit of a RAM OC noob.

I suppose I should learn though.

What about RAM with higher advertised clock speed? 2000mhz+?

Not worth it when this stuff does the job. Have a read on overclocking the ram, its really easy to do, and if you get stuck there's more than enough decent folk on here who are willing to help.

OK, so I've gone with my heart not my head and taken up today's daily deal:
GeIL Black Dragon 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (GD316GB1600C11DC) **OcUK Exclusive**

They fit the bill for future proof storage size and looking cool, although I guess there is faster out there.

Anyone know much about their headroom for OC?
