Im building a gaming PC and have been doing fine, until now. I have bought an Asus z87 with an Intel I5 4670k processor. Ive been doing lots of research but can't really find much. I want 8gb and was wondering wether to get this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/ite...
or should I just fork over $70 to get better performance? Also what is a good price for RAM? Any additional information would be appreciated.

that seems fine and patriot is a good name. For 8gb around $65 is a good deal.

Ouch ddr3 1600 with a CL of 10, I would get ddr3 1600 or higher with a latency 8 or 9. The stuff Ahmadjon suggested would be good.

Ya, CL10 for 1600 sticks is a bit much. 1866 / 9 is a good spec now days, it should OC to 2000 / 10 without much problem, Ahmadjon has a good pick for you I think......
