Ram trouble.

Hey guys I'm having trouble of what type of RAM to be looking at? I'm going to be gaming but don't know of speed, latency, timings, size or any of the extra stuff does for the gaming aspects. Can anyone shed any light on this an a round suggestion of what I should be looking at for a £140 budget.

Going to be using an ASUS VII Ranger MOBO, i7 4ghz.

There is plenty to choose from at that budget so i would choose one of these , which would match nice with your board.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Kingston HyperX 16GB (2x8GB) PC3-17100C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/Red (HX21C11BRK2/16-OC) £137.99
1 x Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB (2x8GB) PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX24C11T3K2/16X) £129.95

They seem okay, I still don't know what real effect they would have in terms of using either or, as one is at 2133MHz and the other is 2400Mhz. I also imagine the timings are different too? Still no real idea what differences that makes between them?

Would there be a noticeable difference if i was to go with the £129 version over the £137? Or is it something I would only see during bench mark tests results??

No real difference in performance, maybe slightly higher benchmark result or an extra framerate in gaming but generally not.
