You can buy 8GB of 1600MHz RAM from OcUK for less than £70.

The faster speed will make up for the slacker timings or it will likely run at 1333MHz with tighter timings.

It's AMD so faster is not really going to help! Plus i was going to use an ek block on the Dominator

So what's the question then?

What ram to get as im so unsure

If the EK blocks will fit any RAM then you can get 8GB for far less than £110.

I've read your other thread and also found it hard to answer as you don't list/state what it is that you want to use the system/memory for.

If it’s for max speed, without any benefits, other than benching this needs to be established as costs become irrelevant.

But if it’s for general gaming/apps use then the specification of the memory will drop dramatically in price - but not necessarily in performance for day to day usage.

Basically, what’s your need/criteria for the whole spec?..
