What Memory speed and CAS latency should I be looking for if I plan to overclock my CPU? I haven't decided what I should overclock the CPU to, so any suggestions on that would be great.
Current Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/cabik77/saved/4eEF
--Any other suggestions would be welcome. I know the power supply is overkill.

Thank you very much for all the helpful posts. I've made a change to the memory (listed below). I will continue to read additional comments.
Additional info: Yes, this is for gaming. Wildstar is the next game I plan on playing a lot (http://wildstar.gamepedia.com/System_requirements), although I do play a lot of games ported over from gaming consoles. Right now, I run at 1920x1080. I have no doubt I will be buying a better monitor to handle higher resolutions once I build this machine since my current machine is limited.
Maddogfarge: Although you listed the Ripjaws or Sniper for ram, I went with the TridentX due to the information provided by the company pointing to this model as the best one for overclocking. Since your post has been the most helpful, what are your thoughts on this? Am I just buying into marketing? Thanks!
