I am entusiast, building top lga-1155.
Okay, my choise was i7 3770k + ga-z77x-up7

And for memory, i have stucked. Because i have 2 sets.
One set is 32G of DDR3 Kingston Hyperx Beast (2400) older model
Second set is 32G of DDR3 Hyperx Savage (2400) newer model
newer model - it has lower radiator but seems higher metal thickness,
and is more compatible with my noctua HN-D15
but has lower air-cooling possibility (reduced radiator height)

hey, what to do?)) what to set in a 1155-dream-pc? how to choose between these two? (i already have them both on hands)

Given that the Ivy Bridge part was very hot headed when you overclocked it(and in order to get the memory to DDR3-2133Mhz and beyond) I'd say that you stick with the older kit since they would have the die's necessary for overclocking on the older platform. Latter revisions were revisions of the older die and could mean incompatibility when going past DDR3-1600MHz. The key number to look at is 165v for your memory voltage on which ever ram kit you choose.
