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

Thank you!
 
Solution
The Sniper series can work fine, but the RipJaws series C12Friedman suggested would be even better as far as performance to match with that CPU. Both will be a great fit that will produce outstanding results.

Thank you
