Which ram should I get

[Theguythatneedshelp]

Hi, I am building a gaming pc on a budget.... I just got the Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 motherboard. I just wanted to know which 8gb of ram should I buy. I am hopeing for around $ 70. Also so that I dont start another thread.. I will buy an fx6300 and I wanted to know what graphics card I should get for 180-200 dollars. THANK YOU

I'd look at the GSkill Snipers or Ripjaws X in 1600/9

For a GPU best bet at that price point is prob a 270X, or a nVidia 600, there's some under $200

Might look at the WD Blue HDs, same as their more expensive Black line of HD with different marketing

I think i will go with the G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory and the 270x.

It's a great HDD, I have one in my rig and it works pretty good.

Yep, the Blacks get all the press, but the Blues are the same basic drive (RPM, cache, etc) just not marketed as high performance even though they are the same 😉
