Blue GPU LED, yellow mobo, red ram 

 

The G.Skill Ripjaws are great. 

But, are you sure you need that speed?

1600Mhz would do the job fine too...

I'd take it a step further and say anything higher than 1600 is just pointless since more than 1600 often causes cpu overclock instabilities; and a cpu overclock >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ram overclock -- I'm currently running my 2400mhz kit at 1600mhz due to the fact that anything higher messes with my cpu oc (the 2400mhz was actually by far the cheapest when I got it).

Not a huge fan of the Trident (unless you need the insane clockspeeds).

 

But for 2133Mhz I'd rather get something a bit more low profile, like G Skill's Ripjaws Z or Ares series, which both look cool and will ensure future compatibility with pretty much any CPU cooler.

G.Skill is a great Linus recommended brand, but the colour's not working for me.

ON A 7 MONTH BREAK FROM THESE LTT FORUMS. WILL BE BACK ON NOVEMBER 5th.

Well, I'd say at least match the ram with the build -- a non-matching gpu is one thing; but at least get matching ram (I also wouldn't bother paying extra for anything faster than 1600mhz).
