Hey Tomshardware, HAPPY WEEKEND! WOO
So, I recently purchased:
GTX 680 (Oh yeah)
i5-3570k (hell yeah)
and an ASRock Extreme6 (lol yeah it's okay)
I'm thinking of using the ram from my old system:
Patriot Gamer 2 Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)
I don't know whether I SHOULD or NEED to upgrade.
Main uses:
Games
Games
Games
Battlefield 3
Games
Assassins Creed
Games
So, 8GB I know is enough, no need for 16, but I've just never known enough about RAM to understand what the speeds mean and what the performance differences are.
So, any suggestions as to new ram and or why I should keep my old one are needed.
(Price range for 8GB try to keep under/near 100$)
Thanks guys you rock!
EDIT: I put it in this forum because this is where the cool cats hang out. XD
