Picking new Memory

[snoboardfrk]

Hey,

So I'm doing my first core i7 build and I am not sure on what memory. I have an Asus P6X58D Premium MB and I'm looking to get 6gb of ddr3 probably 1600mhz. These are the couple I was looking at.

Any thoughts on which is better or might go better with my MB and why? If you have any other suggestions that would be great too!

I would go with the G.SKILL PI Series... Great performance for the price. You would be paying an additional $20 for similar performance if you went with the Mushkin.

The G.SKILL PI has great specs, but should it bother us (both the OP and I are in the same boat) that neither the ASUS manual nor the G.SKILL RAM configurator list these as qualified for the P6x58D premium?

Yeah I think I'll go with the gskills since it's cheaper but anyone know about compatability? Also if I'm planning to oc my processor to about 4mhz is this good?
