There is a sale going on at NCIX right now and I was thinking about upgrading my 4gb ram to 8gb. The ram I currently have isn't made anymore, so I gotta pick up a completely new set. Here are some good deals i found all around the same price, but I don't know which one I should get.

Corsair CML8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=61961&vpn=CML8GX3M2A1600C9&manufacture=Corsair&promoid=1190

Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B Vengeance Blue http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=59431&vpn=CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B&manufacture=Corsair&promoid=1190

G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL 8GBhttp://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=57953&vpn=F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL&manufacture=G.Skill&promoid=1190

The G-Skill looks good, but right now i'm leaning towards the Corsair Vengeance it is the best deal.

You do realise you dont need the exact same RAM as you have. Just get a set which are similar, I have 2 1GB 667 Kingston and another 2 1GB Low-Profile 800 Kingston RAM, the higher 1 just downclocks itself to match the other.

I have used Corsair RAM for a very long time, and currently use their Vengeance series. It's very stable, and long lasting.

Oh really I wasn't aware of that, but I still want to upgrade to 4gb sticks and also upgrade the speed to atleast 1600.

Fair enough, but also note, that higher RAM speeds wont affect gaming in anyway, at best, you might get 1FPS increase.
