Hello,

I Have decided to buy:
-i7-2600k.
-2x GTX 580 (maybe Overclocked ones).
-~24' monitor.
-A water cooling system for CPU, GPU, motherboard chipsets and the RAM's
-I already have Win 7 64bit.

The budget is around $3500.

I will OC the system.

I will be using this system for games mostly with one 24' monitor @ 1920x1080.

I want to know which DDR3's would go best and gives the most performance with the parts that I have mentioned "performance wise".

Thanks in advance.

All DDR3 RAM of the same frequency performs almost identical in all tests run by numerous hardware sites such as Tom's, Anand's, etc. so just pick your favorite RAM specified for your Intel CPU from any of the name brands like Corsair, Kingston, Muskin, G.Skill, Patriot, etc. and you'll be fine.

BTW water-cooling is a waste of money as many air cooled HSFs are as good or better than reasonably priced H2O coolers. You can compare performance of the air and H2O coolers at the link below.
