I have DDR3 1333MHz new but i can get DDR3 1600MHz?

yes you can. However take note that they will all run at the same speed and will be at the lowest, meaning all RAM will run @ 1333MHz. So no point getting 1600MHz as it will only run @ 1333MHz unless its cheaper then fine.

Can I put different companies RAM in my computer?

      CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.8GHz Moherboard: MSI Z97 SLI Krait Edition Memory: HyperX FURY White 24GB DDR3 1866MHz GPU: Asus GTX 970 Turbo

             PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750w SSD: Crucial MX200 250GB HDD: WB Blue 1TB Monitor: (2x) BenQ GL2460HM 24-Inch Case: NZXT S340 White

yes, as long as it is the same standard: DDR2, DDR3, DDR4

 

you can even mix RAM with different speeds.

 

@Rocko follow your topic.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

you might as well get new 1333MHz ram because it will be under-clocked to the lowest speed.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

oh so if i get A 1600 one it will under clock it to match the other 1333 one?

it's the same price as the 1333MHz one.

Yes you might as well go for cheaper 1333 MHz ram,=.

yes, correct

it's the same price as the 1333MHz one.

get either than, they're both fine.

personally i'd get the 1600.
