I have a Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H motherboard and a Pentium G3258. The G3258 supports 1333ghz RAM and the mobo supports 1600ghz RAM. I plan on a future cpu upgrade to an i5. What would be the best RAM for me? 1333ghz with 7cas? Will 1600ghz at 7cas run as well or better? Will cas lower than 9 make much difference?
Additionally, I will need a cpu cooler, and everyone recommends Cooler Master Evo 212, I think that's the one. Will I need low profile RAM to insure that everything fits? Is GSkill ECO series good RAM? They are low profile and have fast cas timings, but run on low voltage. Will that run on this mobo?
I don't plan on oc'ing the RAM. The computer will be used for making a Linux machine to learn Linux, daily usage web browsing, watching movies/videos, email, listening to music. And I want to learn Openshot and Blender to do some hobbyist video editing.
Any advice and recommendations are greatly appreciated.
I originally posted this in the Motherboards section, as I wasn't sure which section is more appropriate. I can remove one if needed.
