So, it's pretty straightforward.
I want 2x4gb sticks of ram but everywhere on amazon they're all at the £60 price range. Has anyone found any quick, reliable but maybe £10 cheaper ram anywhere?

Damn, was hoping to cut down on price. On a budget. Could you tell me the performance difference between 1 stick of 8gb and 2 sticks of 4gb? Because I could get 1 stick of 8gb cheaper than 2 4gb's is there much performance drop?

it doesn´t realy matter just remember when you upgrade you´ll have to get another 8GB stick

Okay, thanks.
Just found this:http://www.amazon.co.uk/G-Skill-Ripjaws-DDR3-2133-Dual/dp/B0050119O0/ref=zg_bs_430511031_2
It's 2x4gb ram and is 2133mhz or something like that.
However, I read in the rating section that sometimes it cant reach over 1600mhz, is that a problem?
Here's my system in-case there's a clash in the hardware:
Gigabyte 970a-ud3p
AMD fx 8320 (the person who had the problem had an FX cpu)
650w fully modular
r9 290
1tb HDD

Semi-correct. It all depends on if your motherboard can utilize the RAM to its' full capability.

Since you're using a dedicated graphics card, the RAM speed won't make much of a difference. The only time it really comes into play is with AMD's APU line and no dedicated graphics card, where the onboard graphics use system memory instead of its own.

Out of curiosity, why? This ram has higher speeds and is cheaper:

I'm not arguing, just curious as I may of missed something[/quotemsg]
