New mobo, touch choice with ram

The Midnighter · Dec 1, 2013

Hey folks!

I'm getting the Asus Crosshair V: http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX41361

And I'm really stuck on RAM. I am going for 16gb right now, and I'm aiming to get 8gb sticks so I can buy another 2x 8gb later and expand to 32gb.

After reading, I think I've got it narrowed down to the following choices of RAM:

Of course, I am a but of an AMD whore so that's what my eye is leaning towards, it's clouding my logic and judgement!!

Help me Toms fans!!

Are you planning on gaming only ? If so, 8 GB is all you would ever need.

Get the G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C11D-16GSR . Since you want 8Gb sticks for a 32Gb set up in the future.
Those two offers the fastest MHz. The timings won't be noticeable in real time performance.

Nope, not planning on gaming only - I will be doing a bit if video rendering and eventually, well - lol this will be an entertainment system to rival that's for sure.

I was leaning towards G.Skill as well, but damn if those AMD Gamer sticks don't look sexy as anything

Id also go the 2x8GB nipers, the AMD DRAM is rebranded Patriot or Vision-Tek sticks, neither of which is anything to write home about
