Which memory is faster / better combination

[merango]

Hi,

Having a real hard time to choose some RAM for a new system. Have several options on the motherboard due to the 4 slots. Motherboard is ASUS P8P67 Pro - where they are only showing 2 x 2GB, I will double up to fill all 4 slots. Would prefer 16GB but happy with 8 to start with. Sorry for the multiple options, just really confussed what would be best for gaming i7 2600K and MSI GTX580.

It basically says that 8gb 1600mhz hits the sweet price per performance spot. Anything above that will not give any substantial improvement. Timings do not matter much either. With that said, here are the picks:

G.Skill 8GB (2 x 4GB) PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 RAM - 9-9-9-24-2N
G.Skill 8GB (4 x 2GB) PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 RAM - 7-8-7-24 - Ripjaws-X
Corsair 8GB (2 x 4GB) PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 RAM - 8-8-8-24 - Dominator Series
