I have a evo pro, 760, and a monitor/mouse/keyboard already at home from other builds that i dont need.

Any suggestions on ram? I have the tridents in my cart right now but was curious on if it will really change anything or be noticeable. They look badass and are fast on paper (obviously) but real world application wise is there a difference between this ram and something cheaper?
 


But are the really better then "that " budget $90 ram? for the price difference i'd like to know if its milliseconds different or if it will actually feel snappier or render ect things faster.
 
They are the best I've used on Haswell (and were on IB also), generally followed by the Snipers, then sort of in a group the Ripjaws X, Vengeance Pro, and the Team Xtreem sticks are all very good also. There are other good sets also, but the aforementioned tend to be stronger than others I've used (i.e. Blackline, Redline, Savages), the Dominators are up there with the Sniper, RJ X, Team and Vengeance Pro but think the Dominators are way overpriced
 
ended up that i didnt need them as with my new build i ended with ddr4. But thanks for the info!
