like a boss with the
best RAM for gaming.

hoosing the best
RAM for gaming can
feel like grasping at
straws. It can be
tempting to just find
the largest DIMMs your
motherboard can handle, but
picking the right RAM has just as
much to do with frequencies and
timings as it does with speed and
size. RAM prices have thankfully
remained relatively stable for the
past six months, giving us a
reprieve from the prices we were
seeing about a year ago, making it
a good time to buy. However,
knowing what to look for can be
another matter entirely. Our guide
is here to give you the breakdown
on the stats that really matter.
