This is my first build and i was going to pick up this ram for my gaming build the first one. i was going to pick up enough for 16GB of it. But then i saw this one It looks like exact same but wanted to double check. This way it would only take up 2 slots instead of four plus i like the color blue more.


G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL

So i was just wondering if this would be good for my build and to double check if i get the 2nd one if its still compatible ?
