Help which Ram

[pantheman_53]

Hello,
I'm wanting to build a system to run my Adobe CS5 suite(After effect, Premiere and Photoshop) I will be using an Asus P6X58D-E. I already have a i7 950 CPU. I want to run 12gb of ram. I might try overclocking the CPU but not much more 3.8.

So my question is which ram would make After effects ram preview work the fastest ?

Also will I need to set the ram timing manual due to running 1600?

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9T-12GBRL
