Hello, and thanks in advanced, I recently upgrade my Rig, Im running a 2500k, 560 gtx ti, and xp.. I currently have 4 gigs of memory. Im looking to upgrade as im getting 64 bit win 7,I do not over clocked, In short, I know almost nothing about memory, Im looking to get somewhere between 8-16 gigs depending on benifits,

I game mostly, Wow, Aion, Minecraft, SC2.

Ram speeds etc don't mean as much as they did with the older setups. since you don't OC get some 1333 or 1600 speed ram (most are the same price, sometimes you can find the 1600 on sale for cheaper though), unless you do something that makes use of allot of RAM you will not see improvements on gaming with 8GB vs 16GB. Stick with 1.5V RAM.
