I wondered about the branding on the computer case, and your question got me curious enough to look it up. ******* If you scroll down to the non-default memory section, there you can see the brandings they offer. 16 GB [8 GB X2] DDR4-3000 Memory Module (w/ RGB Lighting) ADATA XPG SPECTRIX D41 (RGB LED) ADATA XPG SPECTRIX D40 (RGB LED) G.SKILL Trident Z (RGB LED) Corsair Vengeance (RGB LED) Of those, I'd select the G.SKILL, for no other reason than I own some. So when the default install says Certified Major Brand Gaming Memory it's probably the ADATA product. In the regular market, the ADATA might be a bit cheaper. You can look some up on Newegg to see how the prices compare on each. And fancy memory doesn't help a whole hell of a lot. Years ago it used to matter. Wasting all your money on fancy RAM now, isn't quite as clever. I had a couple Core2 systems, and one had DDR2-533 (slow), and it hardly mattered. What did matter, was the cache on one Core2 system was smaller than the other, and 7ZIP ran at 2/3rds of the speed, on the gutless system. One CPU had 2MB cache, the other 6MB. Only 7ZIP cared about this. Games didn't care at all. Paul |

They made a couple of mistakes in assembly. So don't assume that they can do a better job than you--because you are more likely to read the main board manual first, for instance! The company I purchased that system from went out of business. If you can wait until "Black Friday", you might be able to save a few hundred dollars (maybe not at that site?). I've had good luck finding prices I like at NewEgg. They let you build a system as a shopping list there too..I forget the exact details--but it is helpful! Good luck! Bill |
