I am looking for 8gb of ram for my new system and am on a very tight budget. See system here

I have found two viable options.
One is 8gb of patriot ram available for 55 dollars at tiger direct for mail in rebate. Would this work and Am i likely to get the rebate?

Another option is this. I have heard that Team Group makes great ram, but is just not popular in the USA. There is only one review, but it is negative. However, i would save money up front instead of worrying about rebates.

You are buying an overclock capable 4670K with a motherboard that does not support overclocking. So save some money and get the regular 4670 or get a Z87 motherboard and CPU cooler.

Haswell also likes higher speed RAM. I would save up until you can afford some DDR3 1866 or 2133. Only $10 more than the questionable quality Team stuff gets you Ripjaw X 2133.

10% code makes it $76.

I would definitely buy the Patriot, but my preferred brand is GSkill.

On your build, if you want to overclock, you to have an Z87 motherboard. That will raise the price for your build. You also need a high quality power supply. Corsair CX psu uses cheap components and low build quality. What is your total budget for this build? (Do not include the cost for the monitor, OS and peripherals)
