Hi guys! I was hoping someone could help me choose the RAM at the *sweetest* spot for my upcoming build.
I plan to get 8GB(2x4GB) 1600MHz, as this will mostly be for gaming and general usage, no studio-editing/simulations etc.
GPU: 7850
Mobo: Asus Z68 V-Pro Gen 3
CPU: i5-3570k
Most indecisive part is the CL7/8/9 part. Unsure of at which point does this value stop translating into worthwhile real-world performance.
Most past reviews consider the SB architecture to be a bottleneck to lower latencies and higher clock cycles, so I'm hoping to get some more relevant insight since I'll be getting an IB CPU.
Let's ignore my budget for the time being
Thanks in advance for all input!
