G.SKILL DDR3 2000 or Mushkin DDR3 1600

[wardy22]

hi guys, i was looking for a set of ddr3 ram to go along with a new i5-750 desktop i'll be purchasing in the coming month.

the two pairs i had in mind were this G.SKILL Trident 4GB and this Mushkin Enhanced Redline 4GB


either pair would be going on an ASUS P7P55D-E Pro motherboard


i do plan to lightly overclock the i5, maybe to 3.0 Ghz

if anyone has any questions or other recommendations please post!

I would go with this G.SKILL PI Series 4GB DDR3 1600 Cas7 with tighter timings and cheaper. Also, you can drop all the way down to G.SKILL RIPJAWS 4GB DDR3 1600 Cas7 for $40 cheaper.

Hi.

Don't wasted ur money in a 2000MHz RAM that have high CL and deliver a regular performance.

Go with the PI series that tecmo34 suggest or the Mushkin of ur 1st post. Also u can take a look of another options with CL8 like Crucial that have amazing performance.
