Spec me some memory please.

Memory and watercooling are the two things that give me a headache when i try to shop for hardware.

I spent about 2 hours trying to choose a 16gb kit for my rig last night and i still cant make up my mind.

My spec is :-

Sabertooth Z77
3770k @ 4.5-4.8 depending

At the moment i have a pair of 8gb kingston sticks, they are 1333mhz @1600 but the memory is quite old and i have to run very loose timings to run at this speed, however these will be perfect for a low spec htpc build that i'm doing .

Many thanks

Ed

Your current sticks are probably fine, I doubt you'd notice any performance boost with a new kit.

As mentioned you probably will not notice any difference with new ram sticks, so if you must buy new ones you may as well opt for the cheapest ones you can:
