good if you know how to work the bios

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM

Pros: its fast memory without a doubt, even running at 1333 mhz.

Cons: if you don't know how to work your bios and are using an amd processor, you should probably pick memory that's compatible with your motherboard. I made the mistake of not doing that and now my memory is running at 1333 mhz instead of 1600. When i tried to change the speed, the system booted up but when I tried to reboot it, it refused to go into the operating system or even post so i had to talk to some people and reset my cmos to get it working again.

works well in my system

ASUS M4A87TD EVO AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: i like this mobo. it works well for me. I can't really find any flaws with it.

Cons: the memory slot is kinda close to the cpu fan but you'd be hard pressed not to find a mobo that doesn't have the memory slots so close to the processor. The bios is also pretty confusing if you're trying to tweak memory settings.

works well in my system

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card GV-N460OC-1GI

Pros: i like it. it works well. powers games at high fps. the hdmi isn't to shabby either.

Cons: the mini-hdmi to hdmi port is kinda fat. I had to file it down a bit to make it plug into my port without bumping into my case but if you don't have a case that would block it, it should fit fine. if not, just file it down like i did :)
