Spec me some DDR3 please.

[Dirk Diggler]

I'm doing a new black and red themed build and as such will be buying some new memory to fit the color scheme. The mobo will be Asus Z97 Maximus Gene VII.

Memory should match the color scheme, and I'd like the best performance possible without bursting the bank. 8GB should suffice.

Budget of £100 or thereabouts.

TIA for any help.

Here's an example:

There's a £36 difference between them, and the more expensive set had lower Mhz but also lower timings. I take it the timing is more important?

Is it worth the extra for the tighter timings?

Cheers guys.

I take it overclocking the memory provides minimal performance increase for gaming?
