Hi,
I wanted to buy more memory for my computer. I was looking at 16Gb, but was a little overwhelmed with all the options available. I've heard G Skill Ripjaws are good as well as Corsair Vengeance, I feel around $200 is reasonable. My motherboard only allows for 1.5V and 1600Mhz. I'll probably be buying from Tiger Direct or Canada Computers.

What do you guys think of the following options ?

1 . G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL10 Dual Channel Kit (F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL)

2. Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL10 DIMMs (CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10)

3. G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL10 Dual Channel Kit (F3-1600C10D-16GAO)

4. Patriot Viper 3 Mamba Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL9 DIMMs (PV316G160C9K)

5. Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL10 DIMMs (HX316C10FBK2/16)


Is there anything else you would recommend ? I'll likely be buying from Tiger Direct or Canada Computers http://.

I personally prefer the corsair vengeance pro, fully meta heat dissipaters.

The RJ X's are a good fit for your combo, 2nd choice would be the GSkill Snipers in 1600/9

DDR3-1333 is highest that CPU can support; since you need to adjust CPU settings to overclock the RAM to DDR3-1600.
