Which is better QUALITY?

[Zigiy]

Hey, I'm building a PC for christmas and I'm wondering wether its worth to get a good quality version of 8GB of RAM, Or a Medium Quality version of 16GB of RAM.

The two different types are...


G.Skill Ripjaws

OR

PATRIOT PGV316G1600ELQK

Is it worth to buy a good quality 8Gb of RAM or risk buying some medium quality RAM from overseas.

When buying from the "brand name" vendors, the quality is pretty well the same for the most part. You won't really see much in the way of quality difference unless you look at the "budget" or "value" brands.

The G.Skill is on sale on Newegg.com today.

Personally I'd go with Corsair, Crucial or Mushkin for a little bit more, but those are my go-to brands that I stick to.
