what ram?

[mark2410]

i think im about to order an FX6300 and an Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 and ive not looked at RAM i tihkn i might go with just 4gb to start possibly rather than 8 but really what i dont know is speed.

i expect i will overclock a bit but nothing extreem. so what RAM to go for and is it worth getting faster stuff for a little bit more cash?

little bit of gaming, mostly just heavy browser use. i realise there wont be a big difference in going for 1600mhz or 2400mhz

was thinknig between

unless someone tells me there is something else id be better going for

are the slightly lower latencies actually worth it?

really i think my main concern was if going for 1600mhz ram would hold back any overclocking that might take place. i cant see that the corsair is worth almost £20 than the elite black stuff or am i missing something there?

oh, i dont do it often but everynow and then ill do a batch re convert of about 60GB at a time of music for my DAP. so for that it would make a big diff so better to go with the 2400mhz stuff?
