RAM what to buy

[quickquestion]

Hi guy's, i built my pc last summer goal was for gaming (WORLD OF WARCRAFT ) so i bought

Cpu : i5-4670k with intention of OC it but didn't yet
Mobo: gigabyte g1 snyper z87
8 gig of ram
hdd: wd 2tb 5400 rpm
videocard : gtx 750 ti

Now my problem is few days ago my co puter started to freeze for a few sec and being slow so i started to test, the HDD is good no bad sector, but when i started to test the ram it gave me an error withing 1 hour into thetest using memtest 86

My questionis obviously i need to buynewram,what would you recomment 1 foreventually OC the cpuand also be performing at its best while gaming.?

Writting this on a tablet sorry for the writting mistake mistake

you dont need to buy new ram, you need to return the faulty ram and get new ram free.

"Please be aware that not all errors reported by MemTest86 are due to bad memory.

The test implicitly tests the CPU, L1 and L2 caches as well as the motherboard.

It is impossible for the test to determine what causes the failure to occur. However, most failures will be due to a problem with memory module. When it is not, the only option is to replace parts until the failure is corrected.

Once a memory error has been detected, determining the failing SIMM/DIMM module is not a clear cut procedure. With the large number of motherboard vendors and possible combinations of memory slots it would be difficult if not impossible to assemble complete information about how a particular error would map to a failing memory module."

IF it does turn out to actually be a memory problem, then...

If I were shopping for high quality (DDR3) memory, I would use the following parameters as a guide...

* DDR3 rated at 1.5v or lower
* DDR3 rated at the lowest CAS I could afford
* DDR3 rated at the highest clock speed I could afford
* Limit the scope of my purchase to G.Skill, Mushkin, Corsair XMS or Crucial (non-Ballistix)

While not wavering on the voltage point, I would balance the other issues with my budget.

Remember, my goal is not pure "benchmarking" performance, but simply finding the highest quality memory I can afford. ^_^

The only reason I pay a premium for low latency, high speed, low voltage memory is...
Quality and quality alone.

1.5v is the JEDEC DDR3 voltage standard.
Stay with 1.5v or less if you can afford it..

But, if you still need a specific recommendation... Buy This Kit

So i tested with memtest 86 + for about 4 hours with both stick got an error at pass 0. Tyan removed one stico got an error after 6 hours pass 8

So you are saying that even when memtest says tuere is an error it doesnt mean tuat my ram is faulty.i plan to go buy some in tue next 3 hours. Should i got go for 8 gig or 16 gig i was told 8 gig is plenty for world of warcraft.

I plan to buy at www.canadacomputers.com

I cant find the one u specified there can you find me another.

Thanks
