which (2x4gb) ram is best for my i5 4690 at the price range of up to $110 AUD from either PCCG or MSY? I heard 1600mhz is the max frequency for i5. if you need my system specs, just ask.

edit:

z87-a mobo

r9 280x oc gpu

650 watt psu

The ripjaws X were designed to run on LGA 1155 platforms.. So from the other two ripjaws, the blue color (i.e. G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL8D-8GBRM 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3) is better because of 8-8-8-24 timing..


The part number is like, F3-12800 right? Lets breakdown:
F - PC RAM
3 - DDR3
12800 - 1600 MHz

For your information:
"F3-8500" is a DDR3 PC RAM stick with 1066 MHz..
"F3-10600 or F3-10666" is with 1333 MHz..
12800 is 1600 MHz..
14900 is 1866 MHz..
