    I have been looking around for a while now, and i cant decide on what RAM to choose.

    i know i want 4Gb (2 x 2Gb). But i cant decide between 1333Mhz and 1600Mhz. And then which CAS to choose.

    i was hoping to spend under £100. And i will be using my computer primarily for gaming.

    Heres my specs if it helps -

    CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition
    Motherbaord: Asrock 890GM Pro3 Socket AM3 DVI VGA HDMI Out 8 Channel Audio

    I have been looking at these...

    G.Skill Trident 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit - F3-12800CL8D-4GBTD

    Patriot Viper II "Sector 5" 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit - PVV34G1600LLKB

    OCZ Gold 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit - OCZ3G1600LV4GK

    G.Skill RipJaw 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit - F3-12800CL8D-4GBRM

    They are all CL8 and i cant really spot a difference.

    Can someone please advise which to choose, or recommend another.

    Thanks

    What OS are you using and do you plan to overclock?

    Windows 7 64-bit (i can use 4gb+ RAM). And I may overclock in the future after upgrading my graphics and psu, but nothing dangerously high...

    Unless anyone can tell otherwise, all your selection appear to have the same specs and are compatible with your mobo. This being the case, it's down to a combination of: price + reputation + warranty. Telltale Boy seems to have found the best offer around at the moment.
