Looking to get some new RAM, what's the best for under $100 AUD? Has to be 8 gb total (individual or 2x, it's fine.) at minimum.
Would prefer to be a white colour scheme.
DDR3? DDR4? RAMBUS?

What processor/mobo is this going on?

ASRock 970 Extreme4
Bumping this, need an opinion on the above quick.
This would be a better option but it's black and $3 over budget

RAM speeds are for the most part irrelevant right? so just go for the most capacity for your buck from the reputable brands I guess
Eh, for the most part. But it does help with minimum framerate, moreso on AMD chips/lower performance chips. 1866 isn't really going to make any difference though, you'd have to get to >2400mhz for it to be worth it.
As far as RAM speeds/timings go, keep in mind that RAM with higher frequencies/speeds will have higher (slower) timings, and vice versa. It's almost always a balance, ultimately making the RAM speed and timing insignificant overall. There may be some minute difference visible on a benchmark, but for everyday use and gaming, there is no reason for it to have any noticable impact.

Actually I'd recommend taking a look at some gaming tests for minimum framerate for RAM speeds. It really does help.

Looks like I was indeed wrong.

That taken into account, the highest RAM clock your motherboard supports (without overclocking) is 1866 MHz, so I'd go with either [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-memory-hx318c10fbk216"]this[/URL] or [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-memory-cmy16gx3m2a1866c9r"]this[/URL].

Keep in mind that's an integrated GPU so it gets much more benefit from it than a dedicated GPU would.
Yeah that's a bit of an exaggerated example tbh, but they're barely upping the clock speed at all so it's smaller than it'd otherwise be.
