Which RAM do you think I should get?

aquaprofile · Dec 16, 2014

This is the memory my brother recommended http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f310666cl7d8gbrh

and here is what I was looking at since I could afford it

I see the latency is a tad higher but the speed is better and obviously there is more of it. Think I should go for more? I will be using my computer for video rendering and gaming at high settings while recording with software.

Both are compatible with the Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard

Your one should be OK. But I'd try to get 1866 cl9 1.5v ram - should be about the same price. Any reason for 16gb?

The link to your brothers doesn't work properly for me.

The mobo can take either - what CPU, which is more the determining factor, i.e. the 965 C3 was the first AMD to reliably handle 1600 sticks

The ram also needs to fit under your cpu's cooler. What cpu cooler do you have?

I like your bothers ram (cl 7 but at 1333) and 2 x 4gb which is more the norm for gaming.

What CPU?

I'd go 2x4GB 1600/9 or 1866/9 - the GSkill Snipers or Ripjaws X are among the best with your combo, with 1600/9 considered entry level, wouldn't touch 1333 even with the tight CL
