Cooler http://www.corsair.com/us/hydro-series-h80i-high-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler.html

those are my new parts, I'm running alongside it my old HDD and memory with my Xfire 7770's

However now I am looking at upgrading to faster memory, that is compatible with my board

I have been looking at these http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/KHX21C11T3K2_8X.pdf but I can't find out if they are compatible with my board.

I'd like to keep it under £100 if possible, I have seen some G-Skill for just under £100 but they're only 1600mhz and it's a kit of 4 x 4gb

Just saw these on a quick look around, http://www.corsair.com/en/memory-by-product-family/vengeance/vengeancer-16gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz16gx3m4a2133c11b.html

Just for reference I can pick up the G-Skill at Novatech for £99.98
and the Corsair I found at Amazon for £102.49, I will have a better look tomorrow and see if I can lower the prices

We use the Vengeance, G.SKILL and the G.SKILL SNIPER at work, they are all good. Don't spend heaps on RAM, just get some 2133 or 1866 stuff.
