I've decided to upgrade my current rig as its donkeys years old now, I recently bought a Gigabyte HD 7850 from OCUK and I'm very pleased with.

I next plan on purchasing the following components:

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W)
Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard

Ideally I plan on buying some DDR3 Dual-Channel - PC3-12800+ but there are many makes and models out there and I'm just looking for a few recommendations really. I'm looking towards an 8GB set with the option of maybe upgrading to 16GB in the future (if needed)

I like to have a go with overclocking from time to time so take this into account, price range can be from something like £50-80 if needs be (8GB)

Would 12800+ be the way to go or maybe dabble with some 14400+???

I'm not bothered about pretty heat spreaders or anything like that, just best performance, reliable, best bang for buck etc.

Thanks in advance
