Upgrading my ram! Give me some recommendations :)

[Liquid0cel0t]

Hey LTT community I have a ram question for you guys.

I have been looking into upgrading some core components on my system and had a look at the prices of DDR3 ram modules here in New Zealand and noticed they are quite cheap...

I am currently running a 4gb stick of corsair DDR3 1886mhz and 3 x 2gb sticks of Kingston HyperX DDR3 at 1333mhz (obviously the corsair stick is running at a slower rate due to the other sticks) for a total of 10gb

My price point would be around the $120- $150NZD range.

Any particular brands to stay away from? I have an overclocked i7-930 @ 4.1ghz so my memory multiplier is at 8 in the BIOS which is at around 1590mhz (any overclocking higher I get memory management BSOD's hence the upgrade  
Thanks Guys!

Ram is ram, as long as you get something from one of the reputable brands your good to go.

yep what he said. It's more a color choice than anything else, only gets interesting when talking about ECC memory, which is not the case here. keep rocking!

No worries i have a rgb rog strix 1060 which shines pink and some blue led fans so might just  keep it blue in terms of color lol

HyperX Fury is some good ram, used them in my past 4 builds in the last 3 years and not a problem.

pink and blue allready in there, you have to go with a green, a red, a yellow and a black&white stick then! Should have been obvious though...
