Hi,
I have the Z87X-D3H with a i5 4670k, I want to get some ram. I'm thinking corsair LP vengeance?

I don't know what timings or anything are.. just want it to sit small and be able to oc to 1600mhz or something good. What about Patriot G2 1866mhz or 1600mhz

Just bought Corsair CML16GX3M2A1600C10 Vengeance Low Profile 16GB should I have any regrets? It has 10-10-10-27 latency

Vengeance is good stuff, probably not the best however it's a great kit of RAM

Oh okay.

What is the best then? I mean for reasonable prices under 150. RAM prices are currently a huge rip off like, bought 8gb back ago for 40 and now the same kit is 60.

It doesn't feel that long ago I bought 2x 512mb sticks of twinmos ddr 1 ram for 135 quid lol

ram prices feel much better to me nowadays

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it the actual performance is negligible...

If it's only for gaming, save yourself a lot of money and get 2x4GB instead.
