Well I have been searching the forums here and other places . I have a MSI Z87M gaming mobo. And i am having a hell of a time trying to find out what kind of memory i should get for it. I would like to get 16MB on it. not sure if it matters but i have a i7-4770 cpu and i am running the gtx 780ti gpu. i do allot of graphics work . Aftereffects, Premier, adobe blaa blaa. and i do a bit of gaming also. I have not overclocked anything yet . Any help would be great . would like to keep my budget around 150-200 $ on 2 sticks of ddr3. just not sure what i should go with. I saw this post on here (LINK)and was wondering if the G.Skill TridentX DDR3 would be the ones to get. Any help would be great full.

Either of these would be fine. The 1866mhz if you want to save a few bucks, the 2133mhz if you want to get as much performance as possible without exceeding your budget.

Thank you darkbreeze for the info. I ended up ordering the 2133 mhz 2x8 GB ram. I will do a follow up post once i have them installed. Thanks again.
