I am trying to buy cheap RAM and I was wondering where you guys use? I was hoping for two 8gb sticks for about 50-60 bucks. ddr3 pc3-10600.

Any suggestions? It's for a desktop.

Thanks.

tigerdirect.com? amazon? I wouldn't buy shitty-brand RAM or used ebay RAM.

I'm pretty sure you can get 8gb for around $36-$45 on new egg and amazon. Make sure its at least 1600 MHz then over clock when you first boot as they always underclock.
