    Default What RAM should I get?

    Doing my first build in over 6 years and need a little help. I feel I've allready made a few mistakes in picking some hardware so I'd like some advice from someone who knows more about current hardware than I do.

    This is what I have so far.

    GIGABYTE GA-H55-USB3 LGA 1156

    Intel Core i5-650

    Raidmax 530w Power Supply

    Cooler Master Elite 310

    These are all purchased already and I cant afford to change any of them out.

    Now I have about 80$ to spend on memory for now and was thinking of getting this: Mushkin 2x 2gb

    Is this a good match for what I have already purchased? Can I get something better for under 80$?

    Any help is appreciated.

    The memory you selected looks good (I've used Mushkin in the past with success). I would just double check to make sure that mobo supports low voltage memory, as the ones you have picked out are 1.5v. Pretty sure that's standard now, but I'd make sure. Oh, and make sure you have good airflow, as those units don't have spreaders on em.
