Intel core i5 2500k
Also planning to get ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z

@Mukherjee:whats the difference between the two?I understand the timing is tighter,but is there any other difference?Am confused since both are priced same.

You do know one of them run at 1.6v and another one at 1.5v, care to change suggestion?

The model that ends with RL is the 1.5v model for Sandy Bridge. You need to buy that model.

That is this model: G-SKILL 4GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL

@tkin:Thanks a lot I was doubtful that there would be some difference other than timing

Sorry bro...missed it...Yeah they are the older Ripjaws series...and yes the Cl8 uses 1.6V...the OP might do better to go with the Cl9 part with 1.5V

(Aside: Sandybridge can survive the 1.6V tho...imho)

@mukherjee:No probs
Is there anything better available for a marginal price increase?

If u want a 4gb single stick..I can personally vouch for Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz 4GB kit @2450...Its a lot VFM,see?

 

[tkin]

^^+1, but check the clearance, if he is planning to buy maximus I think he will also buy a cooler, vengeance does not like coolers.

 

[ashikns]

@mukherjee:am buying online(as the components are not available in my state),so the prices I stated are online prices.Vengeance costs around 3k online too.But vengeance looks a lot cooler

@tkin:I am planning to buy a CM hyper 212+ after some months,if thats what you meant

U must first decide on the cooler and then go decide on RAM buddy...if its a CM Hyper 212+...Vengeance will make it

You mean gskill looks cooler right? Get anyone but vengeance won't have any issue with 212+, it WILL have issue with coolers like Noctua D14, Thermalright Venomous X etc.

Good config, any reason you are buying the Gene Z and not the Z68V pro model?

 

[ashikns]

@tkin:Because Z68 V-Pro is costly by 2k

@tkin:Because Z68 V-Pro is costly by 2k

Oh ok, Gene Z is good, specially the onboard audio.

 

[ashikns]

Does anyone know where to get gene-z online?A website in which I can pay by debit card
