I am somewhat new to building computers and am
wondering Which ram you think is best for the price and for gaming? I
want to get 4gb ddr3 from a company that has a lifetime warranty. I am
looking to get the 1600 speed unless you think otherwise. The
price is negotiable, if it is worth the price than I will consider it, but id
rather not spend more than $120.
I am going to be using an i7-860 and an asus p7pp5d deluxe mobo.
Am I going to notice a significant diff in any of them? Is cas latency very
important? Why are some classified as high performance or gaming
memory on neweggs website? Is there anything special about it?
Any thoughts and opinions are much appreciated
Thanks

Reason - Very good price, Has good speed and decent latency...
If you dont overclock much, then you wont have to worry about the CAS and speed much...The above memory is perfect and would say is a better deal than any of the above listed RAMs...
Thank you gkay that one does look good. Also what do you think about this one...
Crucial Ballistix 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT25664BA1336
It is way cheaper and has cas latency of 6. The speed is only 1333 though. Is it better to have low cas latency with lower speed, or higher speed with higher cas latency?
Hey guys i updated the RAM i am thinking about on the list.
I'm leaning towards the g.skill that gkay suggested. Am i going to notice a dramatic difference between that one and lets say the last mushikin i have on the list? Only diff i can see are a little tighter timings, but will that affect the performance very much?
^ Ohh no... I dont think that RAM is worth the difference...I would rather spend that ~$31 somewhere else...maybe on the GPU/ CPU...
You wont notice any significant Real-World Performance difference between those 2 RAMs...
