hi,I im building gaming rig and I wonder what ram memory shoud I chose for :

i5 2500k overclocked at 4.5
SUS P8P67 PRO Rev 3.1
msi gtx 590

and now....ist this ram good for me?????

G.Skill Ripjaws-X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL - Memory - 8 GB : 2 x 4 GB - DIMM 240-PIN - DDR3

That RAM is great- it's the right voltage and a decent speed. If you're only going to be gaming, you won't have any need of 8Gb, so you could save money and gain performance getting a 2 x 2Gb kit with faster clocks/tighter timings.

DDR3-1600 CL9 @ 1.5 V is the "Sweet spot" for the SB processors. - Love the G-Skill ripjaws, have 4 x 2 and 4 x 4 modules and all worked great in my two systems; I5-750 and I5-2500k.

Unless limited funds, I recomend going the 2 x 4 route. 2 x 2 Would limit you to 12 Gigs down stream where as 2 x 4 you could go to 16 if the itch need scratching.
