    Howdy Guys,
    I'm planning on ordering my GE60 in a few days here and am wondering what your suggestions are on best ram for gaming and graphics intensive photo editing/video rendering?

    I have heard good things about Kingston HyperX - any ideas on which would be the best option? Is there a different brand I should consider?

    General specs of the Build:
    95% Color Gamut x1080 Matte Screen
    Intel I7-3610 2.3ghz
    NVIDEA GT 650m
    Crucial M4 128gb SSD
    Bigfoot Networks Killer Wireless N-1103

    I don't care too much about power draw, I know it is going to be pretty crappy, but heat and performance are my main factors. I would like to try and overclock this as best I can and am looking forward to your suggestions.

    Power draw is going to be nothing compared to the GT series (High end GT series ship with a 180W brick, the GE ships with a 120W brick).

    Any 1600mhz at CL9 will do the job nicely.

    Have you received your GE60 yet? I noticed it just became available on Newegg (a popular US online retailer) but neither XoticPC or Newegg have photos of the actual machine and I can't find reviews yet.
