2600K memory selection DDR3 1333?

[Khyron320]

Helping a friend and im kinda behind on hardware reviews.

I told him to get "Patriot Gamer 2 Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model PGD38G1333ELK" because its P67 certified.

Just want to get some feedback from people in the loop.

The motherboard will be: GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD3

I'm also leaning to faster memory my next upgrade. ddr3 1600 c8 min, imo. Those Cas listed are at 1.5v, will probably do cas8 . Just stating that a user can read between the lines on some ratings as to what he can do with them. With a little more voltage.
With SB, there are less or no in between speed settings I believe. You have to run at 1333 or 1600 and whatever the next increment is up after that 18666 ?

Good memory, but why 2 sets? Wouldn't he be better off with 2x4GB?

I'd go with these. G.Skill DDR3-1333 2x4GB $80 after promo.

2 sets = 100
1 set of 8GB = 150

Thankfully my dominators are happy to run at 1.58v at 1866

I know these aren't the "X" version, but they are virtually the same in every way.

I got the 8GB (2x4GB) kit of G.Skill Value Series DDR3-1333 for $65 last week on Newegg without any rebates, and it works fine in my Sandy Bridge system. Timings are 9-9-9-24 and it runs off 1.5v.

Wow that is a good deal.
