im planning on building a new rig sometime in the next few months, the RAM kit that i have picked out right now is:

mushkin 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model 998691 - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820226050

-i chose this because of its 6-7-6-18 timings, however, $194.99 is pricy IMO for ram (its in my budget but...)

my second choice:
G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8TU-6GBPI - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231247

Budget: under $200 (more towards $150 would be nice :P)
place of order: newegg duh.

i was wondering if anyone can give me some other suggestions on a 6gb kit.
thanks

Unless you plan heavy overclocking, just choose a regular 1333Mhz DDR3 recomended by your mobo's manufacturer. Any major brand (Corsair, OCZ, Patriot), will be ok.
Choose by the price

i am going to try to achieve my first 4ghz overclock with my core i7 920, i will overclock to at least 3.2ghz and the ram will be tweaked as needed
