8GB (2x4) of Ballistix Tactical Tracer used  for 65$

Im going from 6GB of mismatched 1600MHZ ram , 

Mainly Im looking for something to spice up my system and more ram is always good.

Should I jump on it

Where do you live/what currency are you using? That seems a little expensive.

EDIT: wait... used? Definitely not worth it. You can get a brand new red/green set from NewEgg for $56. $45 if you want the orange/blue set.

Quote me so that I always know when you reply, feel free to snip if the quote is long. May your FPS be high and your temperatures low.

It won't make a huge difference if your just gaming, but yes do it if you ALREADY have an SSD, otherwise SSD first.

If that is USD, that is not a good deal. 2x4GB should be about 45 USD. Or are you from a different country?

I'm not sure how the prices will compare if you're in Canada, or how much the shipping will be since it's a US based company.

Ok, but you're still looking at a new set vs a used set.
