So after a while of being on my Q6600 I am upgrading my pc. I'm getting a 3570K + ASRock Z77 Extreme4 from a friend. How ever now I just need some ram as I'm keeping the rest of my parts.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming, web browsing.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$60 or so for the ram
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
Michigan, Microcenter nearby.
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
Ram, maybe powersupply(see bottom)
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
3570K + ASRock Z77 Extreme4,GTX 460, 3 HDD's and a dvd drive
6) Will you be overclocking?
Yes, Nothing crazy just air cooling.
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
23 1920x1080
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Next week
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
64bit win7

As for the power supply I currently have this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371047
I've never had any problems with it, but I do want to know if it's a good one and will be good for this new setup.
 
hi,i would recommend 1x8gb crucial ballstix 1333 mhz. You can get it on ebay from newegg. Its great ram that i even have running in my own custom built desktop that i made.



thanks!
 
Perfect, I'll go with the corsair's. The ones I have now haven't let me down yet so hopefully this is just as good. Thanks guys.
