Is this RAM OK- Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CML8GX3M2A1600C9) [CML8GX3M2A1600C9] -
For a Gigabyte Z77x D3H + i5 3570K 3.4GHz 1155 Ivybridge + Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler.. If Not, what do you recomend..
Starting Off with 2x4GB then another 2x4GB later on.

Thank You Very Much for replying--Appreciated.
Just trying to make up me mind on getting 8GB or 16gb.
Have a Good Weekend.

8gb is plenty,youll be hard pushed to fill it,plus you can add in another 8gb set later if neeeded

8gb is fine tbh, for me it loads bf3 fairly quickly without an ssd

Thank You All for your replies. Appreciated.

The system is for Photoshop 5/6 + Lightroom + Proshow Producer. ALL Photography.
PSCS6 uses lots of Power, so does 5 if I'm doing a few layers with 100mb files or larger.
So I am looking for the Best RAM but not over £100 and a Better Cooler if you think I need a better one.

If you think the above, that you have already said, is Good enough, then I'll stick to that. If I go 16GB is 2x8gb the best way to go.
Sorry to be a pain in the Butt. This PC must last me the next 5 to 8 years (Hopefully) so I must make sure that I buy the correct components.
THANKS.
