Hi, I'm rebuilding my computer with a I7-4770k and prob getting a Z87- M Power board. I narrowed it down to 3 sets

I was looking at the 2133mhz with CL9 running at 1.65V but not sure if its a good choice. I am open to any other brand or suggestions

I also found http://www.frys.com/product/7323284?site=sa:adpages%20page:p7_FRI%20date:012414 and http://www.frys.com/product/6552683?site=sa:adpages%20page:p7_FRI%20date:012414

First, I'd look for a 2x8GB set for 16GB, less stress on the MC, Haswell likes fast DRAM so a 1866/8 or 2133/9 set would be good choices, with Haswell I like the the Trident Xs and the Snipers best (both are GSkill products also)

I would go with the 1833 mhz cl8 RAM. This is because the gap between 1833 and 2133 mhz is minimal, especially since it is a faster timing. Also it runs at 1.5V. I know that 1.65V is OK, but 1.5 is better. (but who am I to talk? My RAM runs at 1.6V lol :)). G. Skill is a great brand - I'm using them too!

The 2133 mhz RAM would be great as well though.
