Should I get this RAM for my new gaming pc?

[mazchazo]

I'm getting either a p67 or z68 mobo definitely. Should I get this RAM, or is there anything I should watch out for?

What's the difference in performance between those 2?

~Thanks.

They should perform identically, the greatest difference is just the price.

Purely aesthetics

Get the 2nd one. It's heat spreader looks cool like it's going to eat you... I mean it's going to eat every program/process/games like a yummy candy.

Bottom line is get the 2nd one. The first one is sold out anyway. >=)

Other than looks they will perform the same. But, Get the second one. I have a version of those and they look cool.

I actually think the first one looks cooler.

I agree, and the first one is cheaper too, but unfortunately it is sold out. You could click auto-notify for you to be emailed when it is back in stock, if ever but I have no idea if or when it will happen.
