I'm not looking to go broke (-: but the fast stuff is worth the extra $$

It's not bad, but I'd go for OCZ3G1600LVAM4GK instead if I could.

Of all the parts in your PC that make it "fast", memory is the least important.
Not saying that memory is not important, but what is sold as very fast expensive memory will not make a noticable difference over similar inexpensive memory. It will show a small difference in benchmarks, but you won't tell much difference at all in real world use.
The most important part about memory is having enough. 4 gig is usually considered "enough". Past that though, look for memory with tighter or lower timings, and do not pay a premium for memory that is "SLI Certified" or "Gaming Memory", it is only a advertising plug to sell it.
