I just bit the bullet and bought the i5-2500k and P8P67 combo so now i need some ram to go with it. Newegg has this ram on sale for $65 after rebate:

Its ddr3 1333 and 1.5v so it seems good but i can find any reviews on it. What do you guys think? If its a no go i'll probably get the ripjaws instead:

Same stats it seems but it got alot of good reviews. Its going for $80.


I don't do any sort of video editing or anything like that. The computer will just be used for gaming and other general stuff. Will either of these work out well for me? If not, have any better suggestions?


Also, heres the stats of the other components, just in case you guys recognize any majors flaws with it.

gtx 460 1gb
hyper 212+
corsair tx650w psu
coolmaster centurion case
sony dvd drive with ide cable (just realized this needs replacing)
wd black hdd
wd blue hdd (i should prob get a ssd at some point)

The samsung F3 spinpoint or something like that seems to be everyone's favorite over the WD. I can't seem to open the link to the second RAM, but since the PNY is over 80, and the second is 80 with a lot of good reviews, go with that. Good note, though, PNY is a solid brand.

Thanks for the reply. The PNY actually has a $20 rebate so its $65 for the PNY or $80 for the G.SKILL Ripjaws (model: F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL). Also, everything besides the motherboard, cpu, and ram i'm cannabalizing from the computer i'm on now.
