Hello Everybody.

I have a question to you.

I am going to build my rig using MSI Z87I WIFI mini-ITX Z87 Intel Socket 1150 Motherboard

I'm looking for a Low-Profile Gaming RAM sticks, 16 GB.

I was thinking of a Corsair Vengeance Blue 16GB DDR3 1600 MHz <- Low Profile.

Is that a good choice for a i7 4770K ?

Thanks in advance.

JackNaylorPE's suggestion is good but I think that these might be closer a better fit. There low voltage (1.35V which gives lots of overclocking room if you want it) and there profile is as low as RAM with out any heatsink at all. The frequency is a step down (from 1866 to 1600) but you can fix that if you want and its lower profile. If you shop around using pcparkspicker.com I've seen them at $119.99 recently:

Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) Low Profile, Low Voltage CAS 9

Have you decided on a CPU cooler? If going with one such as the 212 EVO (one of the best air coolers) the fans are adjustable so no need to worry about low profile if there is a particular set of sticks you are interested, on my two rigs (to the right here) both have tall sticks but the EVE keepa all cool 24/7 in low 30s
