What RAM should i get?

[azza_01]

Hey, okay so my build im planning on has a msi b150 gaming m3 mobo with a skylake i5 6500. I was going to put in the kingston hyper fury 8GB(2X4Gb)2133, but had last minute thoughts to change it to the Gkill ripjaws V 8Gb(2X4Gb)2133. Reason being i found the Gkill ripjaws V series to have my mobo supported on their compatibility list and for 6th gen intel cpus. I have looked for the supported mobo with the kingston ram but no go there. Im getting my parts from pc case gear since im in Australia and have set limit around $80 for my ram. 

 

 Any advice would be great cheers.

Oh and its DDR4 ram ...

I personally use Corsair Vengane DDR3 in my rig, but I'm sure the DDR4 variant would be exquisite. Also look into G-skill and Kingston Hyperx Fury.

Better thing to do is to look on the compatibility list of your motherboard, don't bother looking for info from the RAM manufacturer itself.

Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 PC17000/2133MHz CL10 4x4GB

I asume is the best on that mobo.

Both ram will work, but get the one on the QVL, less hassle in the long run.

Dominator Platinums are great, but also expensive. I don't recommend them at all if you're not going for an over the top build.

Indeed, they aren't worth it.

I have HyperX DDR4 myself, works fine.

be sure to check memory compatibility list, so you won't have nasty surprises: https://www.msi.com/product/motherboard/support/B150-GAMING-M3.html#support-mem

Yup, Furys are awesome. But I still rather run Dominators, because they are by far the best looking RAM and because when you got Doms, you got a huge e-penis.

Cheers everyone for your advice, ive decided to go with the G.Skill Ripjaws V. I had a set of G.Skill Ares in my previous build and worked fine no problems, so yep G.skill it is.
