Answer 1

Hi there,

That memory will be fine for your build. G.SKILL is a decent brand. If you want the best brand, go with Corsair, but that will cost more about $130. Kingston is also a good brand. However, the one you have chosen will be fine. I do recommend you get 2 more GB of RAM, though, based on your phenom II x4, and by looking at all your other parts. Looks like a good gaming PC, and since your ASUS Mobo can handle (just a guess) 16GB RAM with 4x240 pin slots, I recommend 6GB. However, you need to buy this memory in pairs, so in addition to the two 2GB sticks you're looking at, get two 1GB sticks. Again, stick with G.SKILL, Kingston, or Corsair!
