I Would suggest getting G Skill Ripjaws series RAM

Never heard of that brand before, but seems you can get G-Skills for a tiny bit more. I don't see why you would get anything else.

I rec Gskill Ripjaws or Snipers.

I run the Snipers and they're most def!

*Edit* Although I don't believe that they'll tighten that tight. I tried tightening mine and they didn't like that too much. Running them at stock speed should be faster anyway.

G Skill truly is the best but if the Corsair Vengeance is less or all you can get/afford then its not that bad i believe

I THINK i know what that is, but i am new to building, and don't quite know everything....When describing something in person i usually describe it by color or shape or something similar LOL

So, i am a noob indeed.

same speed same capacity, cheaper price. I DONT GET IT
I don't know what the warranty period on those are but I do know that GSkill and Corsair are Lifetime. Which is probably what you would be paying for more or less anyway. I have to say if you can get Corsair cheaper than GSkill go ahead and get them. I've run Dominators and they are good with their timings. I've also run Ripjaws which are moderately fair. And these Snipers. I couldn't get these to tighten up but I think that's more of a voltage issue because I was trying to do so on stock voltage on these and they're for power conservation more than they are for OC'ing or timing adjustment. That was even when I underclocked them at 1333 due to my board not identifying them since they're too new to be part of ASUS QVL for the Formula IV.

I would go with Vengeance. By default they're better than the previous two ideas imho.

Agreed. But I would go with the known brands of Corsair GSkill or Kingston in that order though Corsair and GSkill are pretty interchangeable. Leave the unknown brands for someone else to build their reputation unless they already have a reputation in the UK. Then go with what your Mates tell you. That's from my own personal experiences with unknown hardware. Mine talked me out of GEIL stix a few years back. Not cause they were bad and weren't known but because they were way spendy for what you got and they were kind of kitschy with their temp indicators that you wouldn't see from the front anyway. At least if you were running 4 stix you could only really see one. It was a novelty item at best imho.
