im buying some ram with my first ever system build and im looking at this type of memory. i cant really go far over £100 for it unless i lose something on other parts of the system. ill sort that out myself but i want to ask for some suggestions as to which brand i should go for. at the moment i am looking at the OCZ Obsidian kit (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-179-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1389) and there was a Gold kit around but Overclockers seem to have taken the product down. i want some Corsair Dominator but at the moment its just a bit too much. in a nutshell: what memory should i be looking at in this range?
Triple Channel Memory DDR3 PC3-12800
- Thread starter V4nger
- Start date
yep i discussed the p6t in my last post and ive read reviews about it and it doesnt do great overclocking which im being a bit ambitious about but i want to give it a go. the R2E looks to be an awesome board. anyway. as i said ill sort out what i change if im going to change the memory. so you reckon the dominator is good? any others a better deal/bang for buck than the obsidian?
edit: the H50 is my CPU cooler dont much care for stock coolers

well i dont need another cooler. i made this screen shot about a week ago but ive still got the same stuff in the basket.
ive had a look at the Patriot Viper and that looks good.
so do you reckon it would be better to get the P6TD? apparently it doesnt have as much headroom for overclocking and isnt as stable.
yep still looking at fans probs gonna get 4 apaches to stick in the cooling slots on the R2. and ill check for the H50.
thanks for the power extension advice ill get one.
yep got some SATA drives already.
well thanks guys i think i will stick with the OCZ for now

haha thanks for the link but im not under the impression that i7 needs triple channel im just thinking about the future and it would be nice to have 6gb from the start. im not just using this for gaming its also for music and video editing.
