RAM Choice

[OptiEng]

I need the following:
- 2 x 8GB ddr3 (to keep the option open for adding another 2 x 8GB RAM later on)
- At least 1600 Mhz
- Would be nice to have some overclocking available in needed in the future

I have found the following:
Corsair ddr3 (low profile)
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/16gb-...oogle+shopping
Corsair Specs
http://www.corsair.com/en/memory-by-...m4x1600c8.html

OR

Corsair ddr3 (high profile)
http://www.corsair.com/en/memory-by-...m4x1600c9.html

I checked the specifications, but just wanted to check a few things

Few questions:
1) Anyone have any experience this RAM?
2) Is having the higher profile option worthwhile? I guess this helps with the cooling? There is not much price difference between the two.
3) If you feel there are better alternatives for the price (or for a bit more)?

I look forward to your comments.

Thanks

Bad links, wouldn't buy from Scan myself.

I've used 32GB of this RAM before http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/...dr3-pc3-10666/1333mhz/f3-10666cl9s-8gbxl.html 4 of those DIMMs. Works well, only downside is it's 1333MHz and the sticks are quite high but other than that they're good.

I always had a good experience with Scan.

DDR3 is cool so unless you're OC the hell outta it, go for low profile.
