am going to buy core i7 980x and maybe i will overclock but not much say maximum 3.6 or 3.7 so i wanna know how to figure the right ram (mhz,latency)

2-should i buy ocz platinum or kingston hyperx (the only two available where i live )
 
1. The higher the speed and lower the latency the better. Lower latencies are more important than faster speeds, although frankly, neither are noticeable, only in benchmarks. You will want a triple channel 6GB DDR3 kit, and if possible I suggest 1600 MHz and CL7 RAM.

2. I'd personally go with Kingston HyperX. Although just buy the one that is at least 1600 MHz and has lower latencies.
