Hey all guys and girls!

I would like some new RAM, but I don't know what kit to choose. It should be a 2x8GB kit with some nice clock speeds and for reasonable price (I live in Czech Republic and here is electronics about 50 dollars more expensive than in America :( ). Im looking for something that is max 150 dollars. It will be used for gaming, video editing and lots of other stuff.

Thanks everyone in advance for your answers!

Pick the cheapest CL9 1600 ram you can find and you should be good.

Just run what motherboard you have by me just to be sure.

What do you think of this? Pretty good for the price. Aren't there some disadvantiges?

 

That RAM kit has CL11. Try looking for one with CL9, as WoodenMarker said.

 

Also, why do you need such high clock speeds?

Umm, 8 GB CL9 1.5v dimm is hard to find cheap.... I have a 8GB 1333 Mhz Patriot Dimm wich luckily can OC to 1600MHZ@1.225v CL10. The thing is, if you can find a cheap 1333 memory, buy it! That's what I did!
