Is the i5 3570 sandy or ivy?

[minhaz23]

Which 2 x 4GB ram is good for it? Does it matter what type of ram i get?

the ram that i plan to purchase is G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 RipjawsX Series for Sandy Bridge (9-9-9-24) Dual Channel kit Desktop Memory Module

it says sandy bridge, and i am afraid that it may not be compatible?

The only thing that matters with ram is the slot configuration (ddr2, ddr3) The ram was probably optomized for Sandy Bridge, but you wont notice a difference in daily use, it will be so small.
