Hi All,

I'm back on the pc scene after taking a few years off so I'm a bit rusty. I just need to know what memory I need for my new system.

Intel Core i7-2600K 3.40GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155
Gigabyte Z68A-D3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard

I'm not looking at overclocking at all and want some decent memory.

I was interested in this:

Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual
Channel Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B)

Is this okay or do I just need 1333mhz memory??

Also, do you know the mutiplier and bus speeds of my cpu??

Thanks in advance.

Okay, thanks for the reply. On an off topic are SSD hard drives worth it at the mo??

Okay thanks I will check it out.

I bought the k version so I have the option of overclocking in the future.
