I'm putting together an i5-750 build with a Gigabyte P55M UD2 (maybe a UD4) and was wondering what speed I need.
The last time I built a system, RAM speed was tied to the CPU via FSB and you couldn't set it independently. Is RAM speed now independent of CPU speed?
With the CPU and mobo I have selected, would G.Skill Ripjaws 1600 C2 RAM work? Should I get the Ripjaws 2000 C2?
What would be best without going crazy on the price?
I am comfortable with OCing and intend to do just that, but as I said, the last time I did anything was with PC3200 RAM that was tied to the FSB for its speed, so I'm way behind on tech. Do you OC CPU and RAM independently now?
Thanks!
