RAM selection guidance for new build

[incognito351]

Putting together a new build. I am pretty much locked on my build except for the choice of RAM.

Goal: Want solid stable RAM at 1.8V JEDEC standard
I want the ability to do some OC. I am not going for olympic OCing. Just some minor OC to optimize the gains from the RAM.

My build... (i have a default ram choice in there as I am a bit of a Mushkin fanboy)

Cpu - E8500 wolfdale (retail)
Cpu sink - XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle
Bracket - XIGMATEK ACK-I7751
Mobo - Asus PQ5-E (retail)

RAM - mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2ddr2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

GPU - Visiontek 4870 (retail)
HD - WD 640 GB SATA 7200 (oem)
Case - Cooler Master RC-690 (retail)
PS - PC power and cooling 610W (retail)
ROM - Asus DVD blah blah (retail, i need the wires)
Paste - Artic silver 5

Let me clarify something.

It does not have to be mushkin.
It HAS to be 4GB (2x2GB).

Come now computer builders of awesomness. You have no support for a lowly newb computer builder like me. This IS the memory forum.. flex your brains.

You chose the best possible RAM given your criteria. Really.

We recommend that same kit 20x a day over in the new build section.
