Help, Which memory upgrade? (Ensuring I get the compatible sticks)

mehuk · 30 Jul 2012 at 19:57

Hello,

I have a OCUK pre built system and this is the motherboard

GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 - Gigabyte I believe.

Now the Crucial memory checker says I can get the following types:

DDR3 PC3-12800, DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-8500, DDR3 PC3-14900, DDR3 PC3-14400, DDR3 PC3-17000

Im after 2 sticks (8GB each) so is the following going to work in my machine and if so, is there a potentially better fit?

I believe my current memory is the 10666 stuff, ive 8GB of Kingston Hyper-X... so ill remove that and stick in 16GB of faster memory.

Just want to make the most of my system and any little performance enhancement I can get for Planetside 2.. ill be happy

I7 2600K
580GTX Sli
256 SSD

Those are the main bits and of course 8GB Ram.

So if I did upgrade those listed would work OK?
