hi, i'm about to buy the ram for my gaming computer, i have checked the compatibility list and in the list i got this: KVR1333D3N9/4G
the one i'm about to buy is this: KVR1333D3N9H/4G
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-4GB-Kingston-KVR1333D3N9H-4G-PC3-10600-1333MHz-240-Pin-RAM-Memory-/131548581952?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1ea0e81040#shpCntId

there's the H in the serial, i'm not sure if it's gonna be ok, it's one of the cheapest one that i've found.. my motherboard is: asus p6x58d, this: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P6X58DE/

These two RAM chips are practically identical in terms of performance specifications. The difference is the height of the PCB. The one with the 'H' is 30 mm high. The other is only 18.75 mm high. You may want to physically take a ruler and measure from the motherboard up to 3 cm (30 mm) to make sure that you have enough room for your CPU cooler. Otherwise you're good to go icedzed. Remember that your don't have to go with only Asus-approved RAM. Any DDR3 up to 2000 MHz will work just fine. However this is a good deal albeit used.

Specs for both chips:

what i'm saying is, it may help to research/shop a little bit more and get faster or more capacity RAM for your money. New newegg shell shockers every day!
