I am going to be using this AM3 motherboard- Gigabyte MA790XT-UD4P:

and the X3 720 BE:

Are there any limitations to the type of DDR3 ram I can use? I read somewhere that it is best to use 1333 instead of 1600, so I was thinking of getting this set:

Will it work or is 1600 better?

Right, thanks. I was also asking which kind of ram is best to run with the x3 720? The purpose of this rig is for gaming so I will be oc'ing it.

Oy again

If CPU is @ 4GHZ+ (OC) then 1600.
Under 4GHz (OC) 1333 is regarded more "stable".
