2500l/ Z68 Asus mobo- Now what DDR3 should I get for good OC ?

[Mfusick]

Hey guys

I have decided on the Asus Z68 LGA1155 and the 2500K Sandy. My mobo with be either the MAXIMUS or the DELUXE both Gen3.

What DDR3 should I get? I want to OC the hell of of this little chip. I will upgrade the cooler, and the case is going to be a COSMO II. Right now I have a Thermaltake Armor 10 bay full tower till the COSMOS II is released.

What speed DDR3 should I get? WHat brand? What model?

I want 16GB I think. 4x4GB probably.

My budget is $200 or less.

I saw some RIPJAWZ and G.SKILL models for about $129 that seemed to fit the bill. Worth it over CORSAIR or MUSHKIN ?

Any good 1.5v, 1333 or 1600 RAM will serve you well. I like the Mushkin myself ..

RAM has little, if any impact when overclocking Sandy Bridge...

See my signature. 16MB @ $100 but this was a couple of months back. And yes memory has little impact on sb overclock:

I'm using Corsair Vengence LP 1600 2x4GB sticks on my Asus Z68V/Gen3 board.
