Why are you going to get a P67 board lol. That's an for unlocked processors/overclocknig.

Get an H61 or H67 motherboard. They are cheaper.

Oh wait, I would get a G.skill Ripjaws 8gb DDR3 1600. Not the 1333.

whats the diffrence between them?
the 1600mhz one cost a lot more...

 

[cutebeans]

It only costs about $1 more. it's supposed to be faster but in the real world you won't notice it. Some also say DDR3 1600 is better when you plan on hard core OC but if it costs alot more then get the 1333.

lol i just noticed the price diffrence, which would you rather get?
ripjaws x 1333mhz or ripjaws 1600mhz?
i know im getting off topic here but
why doesnt tiger direct carry asrock or g.skill?

 

[cutebeans]

Ripjaws 1600mhz. There's no reason to get 1333 anymore because 1600 is so cheap.

I dunno. TigerDirect may not want to be hassled with too much merchandise??
