Hey folks!
Love the forum sofar! I have a bit of a problem and need some good advice and help making that tough decision on what memory to choose.
I am picking it up for the build you see in my signature. Currently i have Crucial Ballistix Tactical chosen but feel somewhat unconfident in that decision. I am also looking at the G.Skill Sniper series and also the G.Skill Trident series. My main problem is trying to decide weather the extra cost is worth it on the sets of G.Skill.
This rig I have tossed together will be used for light gaming but mostly for running multiple apps and programs and possibly using it for VM in the near future (may swap to an I7 3770 later for VM). I also work with Alice as well.
I would also like to add that I am concerned about the height of some of this memory and how it will work out with the Hyper 212 on this board.
Also I was looking over the spec's on my mobo and i noticed it offers support for DDR3 2800(OC)/1600/1333/1066.
Appreciate any and all suggestions!
