So i've been noticing the price of RAM is getting higher.

I plan to buy the AsRock Fatal1ty Gen3 z68 board. This will be in a few months time. But since RAM is cheap but increasing I though I'd get it while its relatively cheap.

I belive the board supports DDR3 - 2133(OC), however I've got a few I think should be ok, just need your guys opinions.

I wana get 16GB.

G-Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz RipjawsX Memory Kit CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.5V - at £37.27 - x2
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4GB) 1600MHz 9-9-9-24, 1.5V - at 73.25
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1866Mhz Memory Kit CL9 (9-9-9-24) - at £59.99 x2
Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit - at £34.99 x2

There is near enough no difference in speed betwee 1333 and 1600 memory and 1883 is just not needed! You only get an extra few frames if that when using memory over 1600mhz, it is just superficial!

I would go for the G.Skill kit. Cheap, great memory and very much overclockable!
