I love it, plus it looks the business... haven't pushed it above 1600mhz yet... I'm no expert but I'd recommend Mushkin thumb.gif

Ahh that looks nice. That's out of my budget though :S

Sure thing. This is my first ever PC build and the only thing I actually have so far is the ssd but the components that I will be ordering are as follows:
CPU: 3570k
Mobo: Gigabyte UD5H WB (the one w/ wifi)
GPU: GTX670

^^^^ I'm assuming those are the only components that matter in terms of choosing ram? If not let me know smile.gif

I don't mind so much. I'll probably go with the 2133 Mushkin but not entirely set on it.

I just sent back a set of 32gb, 4x8gb Blacklines. Completely unstable, total waste of time. I had a set of 4x4gb Samsung spares that I threw in, luckily. I wish Samsung made the 30nm in 8gb w/o ecc.
