Hello, I'm getting a new computer and I would know who has the best (quality and most reliable) 12 GB DDR3-1600 Ram. I'll be using a I7
processor.
Kingston or Corsair?

Yes, I want to future proof my system. So you recommend G.skills over Kingston and Corsair? I searched 12GB on the gskills website and I got about 10 results. Which would be the best for a gaming computer?

Just waste of money, what you can with 12Gb also you will can with 8Gb. Think about it...

I told you, even for CS5 8Gb is enough, but if you want go with 12Gb.

One is clear, with more memory PC better breathe...

I really think you do not do enough Photoshop to warrant the 12GB of memory. Considering you said that "Yes, I want to future proof my system." when I was the only one who asked. Also you said this is a "gaming computer" not a "high end photoshop workstation".

Then when others said it was stupid you came up with the "Photoshop" backup for your waste of money. Or did you just become a professional photoshopper overnight? Your certainly pretty quick at that.

I'm sure you won't listen but go with 6GB and add another 6 if you think you don't have enough.

8 GB may be enough for CS5 but IMO it's not exactly ideal. The jump from 6GB to 12 is roughly $200 give or take. If the cost is not a big issue then I would go for 12 GB of Corsair.

He is going with an i7 so 8 gigs won't really be a viable option. Either 6 or 12 since he will most likely be Tri-channeling his ram and using 3 sticks, or 6 sticks of 2gig RAM.

I just got Kingston HyperX T1 and I'm loving them. Price was great @ about 220$ for 6 gigs @ 2000mhz. The cooling fans that come with the ram looks awesome if you have a case that allows you to see inside.. prettty blue lights :)

as for 6 or 12, I would do some research into the programs you are using and how much RAM each of them eats up. I run Skype, Ventrillo, 2 instances of World of warcraft and FRAPS and don't use up all 6 gigs of my ram, so 12 might be slightly overkill right now /shrug
