What do you guys reckon? 

Thinking about picking this up due to the high speed. What are the alternatives for around the same price?

2400 Hz? thats pretty damn slow. i hope you mean MHz. i would go with a cas 9 kit over this one

The problem with high speed RAM is higher CAS latency

It's pretty much the cheapest 8gb kit in the uk.

If you dont allready have 2x4 gb then go for it

in that case, i would say go for it, the 2400 mhz will help in bf4, and shouldent impact other games that much.

Cheers guys, building my first PC.

Not sure about monitor. I want a IPS monitor for less than £125.

Whats the best around for that budget?

i would open up a new thread for that, because this thread will mainly be opened by people in europe, that are interested in RAM

I think someone already did post about this deal

I predict that future games will utilize higher speed RAM because PS4 has 5500mhz RAM and the Xbox One has 2133 mhz RAM

if you think somebody posted it already, search for the thread and report it with a link to that thread, dont say "somebody already posted it"

the 5000ishMHz RAM you are talking about is GDDR5 aka video ram. Basically every current good graphics card has it. And games already utilize it. For standard DDR3 and 4 (when it becomes mainstream) is much slower but is much more efficient for tasks that it is used for on the computer.

I know that the PS4 uses GDDR5 RAM, but I believe that RAM is used for the CPU and GPU
