I bought a AMD 965 CPU along with and MSI motherboard 4 GB of corsair 1333 9-9-9-24 XMS3 nvidia 460SE video card. I want to upgrade my memory to 8gb but i cant add two more chips because my CPU cooler is to big and therefore i can only use 2 slots of my memory. I am really happy with my build and even the memory but I'm giving my friend my old memory to help him out and ill upgrade mine. I'm running windows 7 ultimate edition i generally play some graphic intensive games basic computing and also some rare usage of autocad.

I want some memory i can just plug in and not have to mess around with like the Corsair i was using what do you suggest for stock speeds and good memory and i generally by my stuff from newegg so if you could give me a push in the right direction i would really appreciate it thanks so much

What is the make and model of your motherboard, please.

Check this out:

Or, if you would like to spend a little more, you can go for (assuming your motherboard supports this memory):

I would get at least 1600MHz. It's up to you though.
