Author Topic: Looking to buy 16 GB of RAM. Budget: $150 - 250.  (Read 921 times)

Well, I have needed it for a while. Better now before I forget again.

Computer Hardware:

(The CPU is clocked at about 4 gigahertz.)



Edit: Driver Version is for the GPU.

Holy crap forgot. My motherboard can support speeds of up to 2133mhz

Try to find one on New Egg, they are pretty good.

Getting higher clock speed ram, counter-intuitively, won't help you with gaming performance. Get literally any ol' pair of 8gb sticks, they don't have to be super expensive.

you can download 32 GBs of RAM here for free

use that money wisely and buy yourself a better gpu

2x4 gb of 1600 7cas ram for around 50$ is good enough

It's not fair to assume he wants more RAM for gaming.

isnt that a trap link :/
It's just a joke site

use that money wisely and buy yourself a better gpu
or a better monitor

RAM is not that expensive these days. 16 gigs shouldn't cost more than $100 if you're getting DDR3

you can get good 16gb ram for like 70 dollars lol

ot: just literally anything will do as long as it's not a cheapass brand

or a better monitor
Seriously though do yourself a huge favor and get an HD monitor.
Monitor+RAM will fit within your $250 budget easy

That's actually not true; faster RAM does improve framerate by a few percent in some games, and considering how small the price difference is it's worth the few extra dollars.

Of course, there's no reason to buy faster RAM than you already have since the slowest RAM determines the speed it runs at.
