I have a budget of about 50-60 dollars for RAM, and I am looking to buy from newegg. I am not exactly sure which one to buy. I want to get 4-6 more gigs in my PC or DDR 3 1600. I need it for things such as photoshop, dreamweaver, high end gaming and just to have it :) I am running an AMD 6 core processor. Do you guys have any suggestions?

I have been looking at this page: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6820220559

My friend said get the first G.Skill on the page, but I am looking to see if there is anything better for the price. Thank you.

so what type of RAM is currently installed in your PC?? and how many memory slots are on your MB?? i can give you a much better recommendation after you let me know this info

so in the meantime here is a nice ddr3 1600 4GB dual channel setup that is within your budget.

Just remember one thing when u purchase your ram if you are going to be using some you already have in the machine even if you buy more powerful ram the computer will regulate all the ram chips to the speed of the slowest one that you have in the computer.

So just an example if you have pc 1400 in the computer and add pc 1600 sticks the computer will run those 1600 sticks at 1400 always goes by the lowest amount just a head up for ya when your buying :)
