Okay so I almost have my computer built that I want and I pretty much just need new ram. I dislike the ram that I have now.


I'm looking for the fastest ram possible in the $200-$300 per 16gb range.

Final Specs in case it helps people decide what ram goes well with it or are just curious:

Case: Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra
PSU: Corsair TX850
Motherboard: Asus Maximus V Formula
GPU: Ati Raden 7970 GHZ Edition CF
Sound Card: Asus Xonar Essence STX
Ram That I'm Currently Using: Corsair Vengance CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9B 16GB
CPU: I7 3770k Ivy Bridge
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB


That should be all the specs that you need/are relevant to what we're talking about. Also, I'm going to be running this computer on water and plan on overclocking the ram that I'm buying, can people give me recommendations for that too? Thanks.

Sort of an iffy question, first thought is GSkill Tridents - 2x8GB 2666/11 (F3-2666C11D-16GTXD), as MOST, repeat MOST strong 3770Ks can carry 2666 sticks, safer option (and about $90 less) would be the 2400/10 set of the Tridents model # F3-2400C10D-16GTX, haven't come across a 3770K yet that couldn't carry 2400 sticks
