So basically.

 

I haven't bought RAM yet.

 

I want high end but not that expensive.

 

although i like the Dominator Platinum's style.

 

My main question would be.

 

What's Dominator Platinum's advantages over the other offerings?

 

Also. What in the hell is the difference between these two RAM kits:

 

Corsair CMK32GX4M4A2666C15 Vengeance LPX 32GB (4x 8GB) DDR4 2666Mhz CL15 XMP 2.0 High Performance Desktop Memory Module Corsair CMK32GX4M4A2666C16 Vengeance LPX 32GB (4x 8GB) DDR4 2666Mhz CL15 XMP 2.0 High Performance Desktop Memory Module

If you like it, get it

The only differences (that you should care) btwn most rams are the frequency

So just go with whatever is the cheapest

The BBQ: i7-4770 / 212x / Tri-X R9 290x 1075/1400 / MSI H87-G43 GAMING / EVGA G2 850W / Corsair Spec 03 / Samsung 840 EVO 250gb SSD / Toshiba 2TB HDD / 8gb Kingston DDR3 1600mhz

Peripherals: G710+ / G502 / Bose Companion 2 Series III / Audio Technica ATH-M40x / Sound Magic E50

Monitors: Dell U2414H

Came here looking for a fun picture puzzle.

Either one will get the job done just fine with negligible differences in performance. Get the one that looks the prettiest or is the cheapest or has the most "gaming" in the title

It's mainly for 3D modelling and game engines ;D

Suppose my RAM would be better with the 15 not the 16 then? less response and cheaper than platinum by around £150.

Cheapest will be crucial ballistix sport.

 

I'm going cheap but not that cheap. Rather have RAM that looks expensive, reliable and also by a brand i like too.

Between Crosair and Crucial, I will pick Crucial as they're in the same level as Kingston. But for personal use, G.Skill.

Ram speed doesnt matter, cause Linus said so.

 

Get the one that looks good, and is a reliable company. Don't worry about speed.
