Hi,

Im finally upgrading the core of my system, so far ive chose these
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
Asus M5A88-V EVO

What memory would you recommend for this ? its mainly for games and general apps and internet etc, i will be overclocking at some point but nothing crazy.

thanks guys

Anyone know if these are any good and work well with amd etc ?

Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz

thanks

What you going to use the computer for? If it is gaming, then 4GB will be plenty as games still use 32-bit architecture and will until the majority of computer users are 64-bit, which will be a long time.

But in answer to your question, that RAM is fine.

mainly for gaming and general use, also a bit of photoshop and video converting etc.

maybe i'll just go for these then and save a bit of cash, Corsair XMS3 4GB

any thoughts? thanks

I use that kit in an oced amd system (X4 with 250MHz bus) at 9.9.9.24 @1666MHz @1.6V, no problems at all.
