Hi all,
My memory has failed and I wanted to upgrade anyways so I am in the market for it. I have a really hard time spending over $150

I want to upgrade to a 16GB set because I am getting into SolidWorks and AutoCAD. I like to play games while also watching livestreams on my second monitor and surfing the web at the same time.

What do you think would be the best value for my system?

I was looking at the GSkill Sniper 16GB set on Newegg for $109 which seems like an amazing price but I was slightly worried about the issues in reviews. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231611&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=10&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo

My setup:
Asrock z77 extreme4
i7 3770k - liquid cooled
EVGA Geforce 650TI Boost
XFX pro series 650W 80PLUS Bronze rated
2TB normal HD

Thank you!

The G-Skill RAM is good, I have a friend who loves his set, but it might be worth investing in memory that may be more reliable or longer lasting like the corsair vengeance. Plus if something does go wrong with corsair products they have amazing customer support.
