New computer build help

charri81 · Jul 3, 2013

I'm looking at building a 600 pound custom gaming computer, how much RAM is acceptable for this price? Any suggestions on brands to look at?

8gb will be plenty. Look at sticks such as Corsair Vengeance, Kingston HyperX, G Skill Ripjaws, Patriot Viper, Mushkin Blackline etc.

Do you know if there is memory modules that have lights on them, as im interested in my build looking as interesting as possible.. do you think these modules are good? http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/ProductMarketing_BallistixTacticalTracer.aspx

They're an excellent choice. And no sorry, the best looking RAM I can currently think of is the Corsair Vengeance Pro. No lights though, sorry.

Okay thanks for the help, will look into buying some Corsair Vengeance Pro, thanks for all the help

The Corsair Vengeance Pro is very expensive, do you think this will put limitations on the rest of my build?

Not really... Here is some for about 56 pounds. Most good RAM is gonna cost about 60 ~ 65 pounds. Also if your fork out on good RAM, you won't need to upgrade it unless if one stick is busted or you want to rice up your tower

Corsair RAM:

Thanks for all the help and advice, unsure whether to get this http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/pc-components/memory/computer-laptop-memory/corsair-vengeance-8gb-ddr3-1600mhz-922605/review or possibly this http://www.pcgameware.co.uk/reviews/memory-ram/kingston-hyperx-beast-8gb-kit-2x4gb-ddr3-2400mhz-review. Both look like great RAM and have good reviews as shown above.

Thanks for the help guys, opinions on these two?
