Please choose some RAM for me?

[Coojeekitten]

I'm building an Intel based computer for Premier Pro editing. It's for my work, so money not so much an issue. (Claim back VAT & against tax.)

I've chosen Intel because I like Intel (they've been good to me in my business) & also editing playback speed is way more important to me than rendering speed.

So I need help with RAM. I've used Crucial for my current rig, but I've also been looking at Corsair Dominator. I don't trust Kingston as I've had failures. I don't particularly want or need flashing lights. Any recommendations?

Thanks I'll check it out. What sort of speed should I get?

Well your budget isn't a little one, so I'd get the best you can comfortably afford

3,600MHz - 4400MHz range?

 

[Coojeekitten]

Thanks.

the 3200 and 3600 8 pack ram is exactly the same, just different xmp/amp profiles, so if you decided to go for the 3600 option, there is nothing wrong with saving a few £ and going for that.

 

[Coojeekitten]

It looks as though OC only sell the 3200 & 3600 in the memory sizes I need. So although it's not in stock, the 3600 looks the most likely. Thanks.

Personally, I'd avoid a hard drive and just go SSD. No disk noise

Thanks. I have 3x ssd. Platter for heavy lift storage. Is that no good?
