That's the system memory I included for this build. The modules are shorter than most, but since they use very low voltage to get the standard 1600 CAS 9, they're very high-quality.

Any reason to spend the extra $15 or so to get the 'higher quality' RAM?

I don't see anything else worth getting that's more than $2 cheaper. This is a good option but for $2 it's worth it to have the kit that gets better timings with lower voltage. RAM is expensive right now.

r00t wrote The 7850 will be $180 as opposed to $110 for the 7770. It's a pretty big gap and AMD actually just announced the 7790 to fill it at an intermediate price point. It is to be released on April 2nd.

7850: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
7770: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
7790 review: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

All of these are compatible.


Wow I didn't know they were releasing a 7790! Sounds great for what I would use a computer for, thanks r00t.

Found [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] on Amazon. $16 cheaper. Not often Newegg gets beat though, so I just assume you didn't browse Amazon.

I didn't and I don't recommend high-profile kits. They only cause problems.

Most prebuilts are never worth the price. Even with a company like origin who build good computers for a good price compared to other gaming pc companies. This computer [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] with out customizing it is $1,225. A company like alienware would probably try and sale it for like $1,500. You can build that computer for about $800 (give or take $100 or so because of the cpu cooler I can't find. So they profit $300 from the build. Alienware probably gets like a $500+ profit from their computers.
