ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Recommended Ram?

Tags:
Last response: in Memory

Hello everyone,

I just ordered 90% of my new build.
ASRock Z77 Extreme4
GeForce GTX 670
i5-3570k Ivy Bridge
Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB SATA III Solid State Drive
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus

I was thinking this ram:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

But I saw another version of the corsair vengeance that looks to be the same specs with huge heatsink blades on it. I'm just completely lost on this now, between all the other research I have been doing I've become burnt out. I was hoping to spend under $65 on the ram. Please help me out.
I plan on buying this with the ram to complete the build:

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"

I have an older Sony dvd burner I will reuse.

Thank you for any insight.

Yeah lets take a vote. :sarcastic: 

If it's always the best, even though it's already brand new, why not update the bios on your video card too while your at it?

If there's no reason to do it, why do it? Don't worry about it.

Stay away from Crucial Ballistix too, it's absolute garbage I've rma'd ballistix 4 times. I told them to send me anything BUT ballistix the 4th time, and they sent me back generic ram, without even any heatsinks, but it's been working in my friends pc for a year now.

Manufactuer recomends to only update BIOs if your having problems. Usually compatibality issues.
As far as the ram goes, compairing to the one I posted I will not find a significantly more reliable or powerfull alternative under $65, correct?

Thanks guys.

He didn't ask about a video card bios ;) 


But I'm asking you. If your theory of updating a brand new mobo's bios for absolutely no reason because "it's always best to keep it updated" makes sense then wouldn't it make sense to update your video cards bios too? Yet you don't? Why?
