The ripjaws x is actually cheaper over here. It is the bleu ripjaws x with xmp(what does this mean?) but that is only one module(43,-). should I buy the same with 2 modules but without xmp (47,-). The corsair Vengeance costs 51,-

Buy the two module one so you can run dual channel. Its not much of a difference, but probably worth the extra few bucks

Once again, just get the cheaper ones. Ram doesnt really affect performance (in gaming) as long as you have enough and 8gb is plenty. Both corsair and gskill are good brands.

The ares ram are probably just the same ram modules with a different heatsink. No other difference from what I can tell.

There has been talk going around about Ares being hard on your system, so for now I would steer clear of it, but for the Ripjaws X vs. Vengeance, I would lean toward G.Skill RAM just because of the reviews I've read on third party websites. But as for the best, they both have the same performance, so it depends on your specific requirements, the Vengeance has a really tall heatsync, which can be a good or bad thing depending on your case, if your case has bad airflow, having the extra heatsync may help keep your RAM at proper temperatures, but if you have a large CPU fan in a smaller MoBo, the heatsync may get in the way of your CPU cooler.

DDR3 runs very cool, a large heat spreader is not necessary. ;)

There is no such thing as Ares series being hard on a system. High frequency and high capacity will always be more stressful for any system (CPU memory controller), that is a general fact.

Just get the cheapest memory or the one you think looks best. You won't be disappointed with G.Skill!

Thank you
