Ok I don't know the first thing about ram.

I am wanting to get some ram for this motherboard

Was thinking

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-290-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

Will it be compatible?

Reason I ask is because says on the product page

I need 8gb ram

I have a budget of £170 inc the motherboard I listed. So will take alternative recommendation. Basically want the best bang for buck MB/Ram combo. My cpu is phenom 965 BE and intend to replace this next year with a bulldozer.

Thanks for yer help.

ps I have a Thermaltake frio so ram clearance is minimal.

That RAM will be fine.

From Corsair's product information:

Guaranteed to work on all dual channel Intel and AMD platforms

Thanks I suspected as much just wanted to check.

No problem.

You just have to wait now until Bulldozer arrives........ whenever that is.

At least you'll have time to save up for a new processor.
