Pretty sure this is a good deal for 8GB of DDR4 RAM in this economic climate. Please correct me if I'm wrong though!
This is dual rank RAM rather than single rank I think.

Looks like a pretty darn good deal to me! Got 2 myself. Just need to find a new mobo now... heat added!

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on prices as I'm building a new PC soon, was just waiting on Black Friday deals. This is pretty darned tempting though!

Great deal, and hopefully the plain look will deter most "gamers" from getting it too, leaving it to people who actually need it!

Awkward... I got this mainly for gaming and multi-tab browsing. Just thought I'd future proof/invest in some extra headroom as this is quite cheap. Do you think 16GB is excessive for 4K gaming? I have 8GB DDR3 1600MHz at the moment.

A few games can probably use more than 8Gb, but I think 99% of games don't. It was more aimed at the typical gamer thinking they run games better with ram that have huge heatsinks and RGB lights on :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, I'm building a gaming PC too, but I'd strongly consider this as I'm on a budget. The H110 chipset I'll likely use is capped at 2133Mhz for memory anyway, so faster memory would be wasted - whereas the gamers you mention would likely have a Z170 which takes faster memory than this.

I just bought 2 sticks. That's really cheap for 8 GB.
Now, I just need to get all the other bits.
Come on Amazon, give us a good price on i7 6700k :smile:

it was £299 briefly on Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks ago.... before it got listed as Prime only. Since then it's shot up to £320+ ....wtf? Aria.co.uk has them for around £315 atm

I was bored so I checked the other EU Amazon sites for you.
Amazon Spain have the 6700k for £296 delivered when paying in GBP (no card fees). If you pay in Euros it's €332 (£286) delivered, but you'll need an appropriate card as to avoid any foreign currency transaction fees.
For reference, Amazon UK currently want £324 for a 6700k.

If you don't need the cpu right now and can wait 6 weeks or so, the price will drop 5-10% as the new Kaby Lake processors will be announced on Jan 5th 2017 and released around that week. The new i7-7700k is around 5-10% faster than the current i7-6700k with a stock rate of 4.2ghz and is said to be priced at the current i7-6700k. By waiting, you could also pick up a Z270 board.

Exactly the CPU i'm waiting for as well. I7 6700k @ 4ghz and a Z170 mobo.

Awesome deal thanks! Bought a couple for my new build. 16gb of flashy looking RAM is about £80!
