I have a FX-6300, with an ASUS asus m5a78l-m lx plus mobo. Not really sure what type of RAM I should get, I am OC'ing my CPU and really only use this computer for gaming. I have really old 1066 Ram I pulled out of an old computer def time to upgrade. Suggestions and recommendations would be much appreciated!

I'd go 1600/9 or 1866/9 in a 2 stick set (2x4GB for 8GB or 2x8GB for 16GB) , would highly suggest the GSkill Snipers or RipJaws X - they are great with AMD builds

Thank you for the quick response. I was looking at them but just wasn't quite sure. I am def getting 2X4, I am set on that, but is there really a difference in the Snipers or RipJaws X? Or should I just look for the best deal on either pair? Also side note just because I am curious, would this upgrade be a substantial difference since I am using very old Kingston 1066 sticks?
