Good day to all,


I'm trying to decide on what kind of ram to buy for my comp. I'm unsure of which of the following I should get. Any technical sound recommendation? I would also appreciate a brief description as to why choose the one you recommending. Thanks in advance

(UK link, but that's the product)
Corsair XMS3 is always a good choice, better quality then OCZ from what I've heard.

That's the one.
Also stick with 1333 if you're not overclocking, it'll save you money.
