My current memory is cheap and in need of replacement. From everything that I have read 1866 is a good spot for FX processors so that's what I am looking at. I was considering 2133 but from what I have read it doesn't really gain me anything and a tighter timed ram usually works better for AMD. Any way I am currently considering these 2 different ones from newegg, a lot of people have good things to say about G. Skill ram so I am looking at the snipers, but I also have found these crucial ballistix with the tactical tracers. Any thoughts? Im not so worried about the cost difference.

Low timings, high speed, good brand, awesome heatsink which is removable, LINK. Just bought a pair myself.

Nice looking ram but I think I just want to stick with 2 x 4gb ram

Yeah I noticed that you were looking at 8GB kits after I suggested those. I just went up to 16 from 8. I never though I'd use all 8, but i did recently while editing some large photos, and I have been experimenting with RAmdisks, so i figured I go for 16.

AMD tends to favor timings over speed, but I have been able to OC 1866 to 2000 on an 8120 and 1866 to 2100 on a 8350.

I pondered on it all day, debating, trying to decide and at the end I just ended up ordering the snipers. I had a gift card and a promo code so they only cost me $20. Not bad I guess.
