Good cheap ddr3 ram?
I am looking for good cheap ddr3 ram kit. Looking for 2 x 2gb sticks new. Any suggestions? Will I notice a difference between 1333 and 1600mhz. My mobo I ordered supports up to 1800mhz.
My mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...L6A-_-13131398 Was looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231277

Take a look at this OCZ DDR3 RAM. The column address strobe (CAS) latency is lower than the RAM you are looking at:

So that ram should work just fine with my mobo? I have heard that asus is fairly picky about ram.
Thanks 2048MB I will keep an eye on that ram for cheaper price as I am still getting all my parts together for my build.

The only thing that bothers me is the height of the gskill ripjaw and say if I were to get the CM v8. Would it all fit in my Antec 300?

The case would be fine, its just if the cooler would hit the first stick of memory. AMD boards are bad about putting the memory to close to the CPU. With my cooler, its over the first slot, so I cant use taller memory.
They have these with the regular cooler. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231193
