Which memory to select

Tags:
Last response: in Memory

I'm building a gaming computer and I'm installing an Intel I-5 3570K processor, and an Asus P8Z77-V LK motherboard. I need to know which memory to choose that would be compatible and fast with this system. I see you can use 1333 or 1600, but I dont know which is better? Also I cant find the voltage of the ram I need for these components. If you dont mind please help me select he proper memory, and voltage. I want 8g of a 2X4g setup. I would prefer to use Crucial if possible. I would also be using a hyper 212 cooler.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response.

I noticed you have selected different speeds, voltages and timings. Do I need to use a certain voltage so I dont ruin the CPU? Also the timings seem high on the Trident, but I'm not positive since the speed is different. Is this a fast timing for the newer first person shooter games as BF3?

3rd gen. have improved memory controller. 1.65V or less.

The differences between the both RAM sticks is small, not noticeable to your eyes, unless u will use RAM disc.

In the games its just a few FPS gain.

Nikorr I appreciate your response. From what I'm trying to understand either selection would be close in speed for fps games? Would I see any difference?

Thanks again
