Choosing RAM for an i7(x58) system

Hi guys. I'll be getting a i7-970 any day now, and have been looking for some RAM to go with it.
Just now, I saw this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820178271
Its a PNY tri channel set, CL 8, rated for 1600

Now I haven't kept up much on RAM. I was wondering if this would be a good set to get if I were wanting to overclock, as I hope to get the i7 up to 4.2ghz

So fill me in guys. The set seems to be a really good price, as I can also use a $10 coupon and get that rebate.
 
Retail Edge, I presume?

Anyways, that RAM doesn't list its voltages, but what you should be looking for when overclocking is 1.5V, DDR3 1600, price, and CAS latency (in that order)
 
lucky dog you 🙂! Anyways, like he said, 1600 at 1.5V for overclocking, 1333MHz shouldn't matter if not.
