New computer

[bootema]

I'm looking at purchasing this setup,

I'll change it to a 2700k but I don't know which ram to go with.

Or

I know the timings are tighter on the 1600 but which will perform with the system better?

Cheers.

First, I would recommend you build your own computer, by doing that you will be saying lots of money where you can use to buy better parts or use on something else (who doesn't like more video games?). Also, last time I checked, the Sandy Bridge series of CPUs supports RAM that is 1.5V, and the Mushkin is using 1.65V, which might pose a problem (even though they are using the mushking 1.65V RAM). If you are, however, going to buy that computer and that RAM, I would recommend you buy the Mushkin Redline because its frequency is standard for the MoBo (1600 rather than the Blackline's 2000). If you are going to buy RAM, you can also look at this: http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=15069 since it is running at 1.5V, 1600Mhz, and it's cheaper.

Best I cud do was $2,620 but I am confident this system will match the performance of the one picked within 2 or 3 %.


Wanna spend more, get two 580s and a 1200 watt PSU
