Hey guys,
I'm thinking of building a new PC specifically for gaming, and am wondering which RAM should I get.
The components I'm getting are:
R9 290 GPU
i7 4790k CPU
Asrock Extreme4 Mobo
Here's the list I'm looking at:

Also this is the store I'm using since I can get a special price there:
https://www.umart.com.au/umart1/pro/index.phtml?bid=9
I've set it specifically to 8GB DDR3-2400 CAS10, since a alot of the games I play are very CPU intensive
and some not even multi core optimized, like mount & blade, total war, arma etc.
And higher frequency have shown to have a pretty big performance increase in some of the benchmarks
for those games.
I'm wondering which one on that list provides the best performance? And also overclocking ability as well?
Also which works better for the haswell refresh cpu I'm using?
As there's too many different brands like G.skill, Corsair etc. and even different versions like Tridant, Ripjaws etc.
so it's pretty confusing.
So which one should be the best for my build? Appreciate any help in this matter!
