Compatability Check

[siegcrimson]

Is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220466

compatible with this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157256


if not, can you recommend me the cheapest 8gig ram set? Or does can a gaming computer do relatively fine with 4gigs of ram?

If the patriot ram is compatible, would you suggest buying it at this price or just waiting until Black Friday?

no its 1.65v, sandybridge likes 1.5v more.

this one should work

or for $3 more you get this that is designed to work with the chipset
