Whether the brand of memory have an impact on quality ?

[Guest]

I have a i7 4700K and i want buy a GeForce GTX 770. Both of those components will be overclocked. Now i want chose a good RAM's. 16GB and CL9. I find this model:

Crucial DDR3 2x8GB 1600MHz CL9 Ballistix Sport.

But its Crucial. In the charts and comparisions marks like a Kingston and Patriots are better. I dont know what mark chose. Unfortunately i dont have a lot of money, so i chose the cheaper one. Is it possible that the same parameters of RAM are diffrent in charts because of a mark ? What kind of 16GB ram you recommend for me ?

RAM is RAM for the most part. Some overclock better, some don't. Some fail in a day and some last 500 years.

Crucial is one of the most reliable RAM manufactures along with G. Skillz in my opinion. Others with say differently because, well, RAM is RAM!🙂

Look for the speed you want with the lowest CL rating. That would give you the best performance but if you don't use the dedicated graphics card memory speeds don't really mean much.

No, I'l be using only separate card. I am building pc for video editing. So that model cost 180 $. And and I wonder if more expensive RAM's with the same parameter will be better ?

Nope.

They will not be better.

The only way a stick will be better is if you went with a faster MHz speed. Which "can" help with video editing. It really depends on how long your system will be rendering for. If it is days you will benefit from faster memory, if it is 10 minutes it would be a waste of money.

I like Gskill, it is usually a little cheaper than Corsair, and just as good.

As said, for the most part, RAM is RAM.
I worry about incompatibility, as you can't return RAM.

Crucial, has burned me twice.
The last time it was a Dell Laptop.
I replaced it with the exact same everything in GSkill, and it worked fine.

Crucial is defiantly good RAM, if it will run in you computer.
I've never had one go bad that was working.

With yourHaswell, look to 2x8GB of 1866/9 as a minimum, Haswell scales well to fast DRAM if you do much video editing 2133 is sort of a sweet spot and price wise not all theat differernt than entry level 1600 stick...so might look for 1866/8 or 9 or 2133/9....with Haswell I like the GSkill Tridents as #1 and their Sniper line #2

Thank you for anwsers. I will be using seperate GPU - GeForce GTX 770. So the processors cpu will be not in use. I am going to work with big files ( 20GB-30GB) and i need a lot of memory.

Unfortunately, my budget have a limit 🙁 😛

I find Geil DDR3 EVO Veloce 16GB/1866 (2*8GB) CL9-10-9-28 for 191$. What about that ?

Faster
Less Expensive

Buy 16 GB from the start and buy another 16 GB when the budget allows.

I like G Skill because they gave me a T shirt and free RAM. The best.
