[micric]

I am looking for RAM (2x4GB).Could someone please tell me what brand to choose from.

Any is fine really. ADATA, Corsair, G.Skill, Mushkin, Kingston, just to name a few.

 

[micric]

how good is this:

DDR3 8GB [2x4GB] DDR2400 (PC3-19200) - CORSAIR Vengeance Pro Red

 

[ksham]

They are very tall. How about the Crucial Ballistix Sport?

 

[micric]

no sorry I can only have corsair and kingston in my country

 

[ksham]

Then Kingston HyperX? What country?

 

[micric]

and this?

DDR3 8GB DDR1600 (PC3-12800) - CORSAIR Vengeance

Yeah the Corsair Vengeance works too. I would suggest the low profile versions, not the one with tall heat spreaders. The reason being is that they usually get in the way if you want to install large CPU heatsinks. And DDR3 RAM run cool so there's no need to have heat spreaders.

ok thanks but what is the best ram I can get?

 

[micric]

budjet/price value

Generally, it's whatever is cheapest and is compatible with your components and of course, they have to work. There's really less of a fine line when it comes to RAM brands than other components like GPU or PSU. The only issue with RAM is mixing and matching them.
