Memory for XFX nForce-790i Ultra SLI?!

[cr0x]

Hey there. Im currently on a mission to upgrade my PC significantly for a beter game experiance with the latest games.
Going with those parts:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 CPU
2x XFX GeForce 8800GTX GFX cards in SLI (Had 1 of them from before and since the GTX's are cheaper then the newest ones 2x in SLI of those should work for a while)
XFX nForce-790i Ultra SLI, DDR3 MB
Corsair HX1000W Black PSU
Windows Vista Home Premium or Ultimate 64-bit (Comes down to the memory ill end up with)
And HDD to be decided

And I'v come to the point where Im stuck with what memory (DDR3) bricks to get brand, memory, speed etc. But when I get down to the memory I kinda want to try go fimd some decent ones that will work fine with the setup and will preform good for gaming, and in a resonaable price range. But I live in Norway so Im not sure how big of a price range in dollars i am looking for.

If you have any ideas please let me know.=)

Just check XFX site and choose any DDR3 compatible with your mobo.
In general, OCZ, Corsair and Patrior are good choices.
Because of the large cache of your cpu - 12mb- timings won't make a big difference for you. You can find 4Gb of DDR3 1333mhz for around US$200 in the US.

It's not quite what you've asked, but have you considered moving to an ATI system. If you sell you 8800GTX and take the money you would spend on the other card, you can get a pair of 4870s.
Combined with a great x48 mobo with DDR2, you get much more performance and save a good amount of money on video cards and memory.

Well one of my sort of problems was to find DDR3 compatible with my mobo. Well got to have a check on XFX site

And no I havent exactly even thought about moving to a ATI system, dunno maybe I will maybe i wont. First of all im gonne let a good mate of my play a bit with overclocking once i get the system i plan to get complete

Well well, I had a little look around and i found those:
Corsair TWIN3X 1600MHz DDR3, 4GB

If anyone has any opinions about if I should get them or not please let me know Or how will they work for gaming etc.

I have the setup you mention, but with the 9450, and use OCZ platinum 1600. (4 x 1 GB chips). OC is at 3.4, was rock stable at 3.6.

My ram use has yet to go over 60% on any app or game, using Ultimate 64, and the 8800 GTX's still handle everything fine at 1920x1200.

All that said, I would be hard pressed to do the same now, if starting from scratch.

2x 4870 crossfired for ~ $500 would be a great contender!

It is the OCZ Platinum EB PC12800 Kit you are talking about? And they work just fine?
