What memory would be good for this build ?

Zyrlax · Mar 4, 2014

GPU : AMD Radeon HD6850 Windforce
CPU : i7-2600k 3,4 @5GHz
MOBO : asrock p67 pro3
PSU : ocz stealthxstream 2 600w
HDD : Barracuda 2TB
SSD : Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
CL : Kraken x60
CS: Corsair Carbide Air 540 Cube

So, what RAM do u recommend ?
Crucial memory looks pretty cheap, but shouldn't i be afraid ?
(Crucial 16gb (2x8GB) Ballistix Tactical DDR3 1866MHz CL9 1.5V Intel XMP DUAL CHANNEL)
I need at least 16GB of memory, and my mainboard is dualchannel, so 2x8GB.
Also, do I have to look for LowProfRAM or not ?
I'm not going to OC my RAM.

Here is good RAM for your system http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f31600c7d16gtx
1.5v 1600Mhz CL7 RAM

If not OCing would look at GSkill Ripjaws X or Snipers in 1600/8 or 9 if OCing, same in 1866 or 2133 for the additional bandwidth

Are you sure with TridentX ? Wouldn't it be better to go off with one of the crucials?
Price: TridentX 1600MHz > Crucial Ballistix Tactical 1866Mhz > Crucial Sport XT 1600MHz >= Crucial Sport 1600MHz

Crucial or basically any sticks will 'work', the ones that Ahmadjon and I suggested are good strong sticks, and all have OC headroom in the event you might want to OC in the future for additional speed and bandwidth, the 2600K is a strong CPU and given to OCing

Actually I'm going to OC my CPU to about 4,8-5,2GHz, didn't think of RAM 'cause i need it to be really stable (C4D,AAE and other MotionGraphicsSoftware) and I'm not planning to buy a RAM-Cooler in the future

@I think I'll stick to these cheap Crucial Ballistix Tactical 1866MHz CL9

DRAM coolers are basically no needed, many have LCD s that light up and look nice, but generally DRAM doen't get hot enough to need one, I keep a few handy for people that like the 'pretty colors'...the cooling will be needed with the CPU, especially if trying to push 4.8 and up
