*please read the specs for processor and mobo compatibility*

specs
cpu: i7-2600
mobo: asus H61M-c
gpu : ASUS GTX 660 Ti DirectCU II OC
HDD : 1TB toshiba
PSU : silverstone SST-ST60F-P 600W

so whats the best ram for me? lets see your opinions

Asus doesn't show details for your mobo any more.

But at a guess, get 2 x 4gb 1333

Similar to http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4065#sp

Another 1x8gb kingston hyperx fury should be fine, is it 1333 or 1600? Faster ram (1866+) is not worth the added cost IMO, but dual channel won't hurt.

i7Baby :

so its 1333mhz only then?

i found the website for the details

That's about it, a 2600 can prob carry 1600 sticks, but no guarantee on it

i7 2600 - http://ark.intel.com/products/52213/Intel-Core-i7-2600-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz - 1066/1333

Yes by spec it 133, but normally most all can carry 1600 with no problem....similar to the 4790K it's rated 16 but many if not most can carry 2133 without an OC - Intel is notorious for underrating the CPU (and MC ) capabilities)

A bit like their 1.5v limit?

Tradesman1 · Jun 27, 2015

Yep, 1.65 is perfectly safe (though I won't use that for entry level sticks like 1600 and under, then it's indicative of weak memory chips)
