I'm starting to spec out a new PC build and looking for some help. I've decided to go with an Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge processor. I'm still looking for what motherboard I want to get. I do know I want a board that has 4 memory slots. I'm looking to build a PC for purposes of photo/video editing and some gaming (plus every day usage). I want to keep the cost at a minimum, but would like to get memory that will provide good performance especially when editing video or multi-tasking.
What do you recommend for speed? Would DDR3 1600 be the best choice. What about manufacture? There are many makers out there, what are the most dependable ones? I know Corsair and Crucial were good, but not sure if that still holds true today. Thanks for any suggestions, much appreciated.
