I wouldnt take a leak on gskill if it was on fire. Get Crucial, Kingston or Corsair.

Yes they are compatible. I don't know what fred is talking about, g skill is a very well known and good ram manufacturer

Thanks for the advise

What ram would you recommend?

Wallrus :

3 brands to choose from. With gaming, speed make f- all difference. Just pick a 2400 or 2666 one with a decent price. Put $ elsewhere

The reason i suggest avoiding GSkill is the amount of returns we get compared to the others. Crucial and Kingston have been in the game for a long long time. Crucial/Micron & Kingston work hand in hand with intel and the enterprise market. For decades

It seems half of Gskills R&D is spent on designing flashier heatsinks. Pity about the reliability.

Why get 2133 ddr4 ram? You might as well go to z97. If you don't like g skills then heres some other good ram. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233834&cm_re=ddr4_ram-_-20-233-834-_-Product

BTW, the Crucial RAM that I linked to is "Ballistix Elite", not "Sport". Elite is Crucial's top of the line RAM.

Ok, then. That ram is pretty good. I though you linked the sport. Honestly though, ram is pretty much ram most of the time. Just get whichever one is cheaper that you like and spend the money on other parts

Did you even look at the Crucial page that I linked to? It IS 2666 MHz RAM!

robinwing14 · Oct 27, 2015

I was talking about the ballistic sport, i know the elite is high speed ram ok. Its still op's decision

Thanks all for the advice

Will be looking for a cheaper RAM and rather use the extra cash on a decent GPU
