Not sure which to purchase:

G.Skill Pi 1600 6-8-6-20 399.99

Corsair Dominator 1600 8-8-8-24 419.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145271

I realize the lower latency G.Skill memmory will perform better in theory but i've never purchased anything other than corsair or mushkin. Can anyone provide a little insight.

They will be in a 980X system with rampage III extreme
no oc'ing until near next upgrade

[Edit] forgot to mention i'll be using a CM V8 cooler - will either fit? not much on dimensions...

Thank you community
