Decided on my processor, motherboard, and ram. Now its time to figure out what heartsynch for the ram, and what heatsynch if any for the ram.

I'm picking up the Epox 8RDA+, 2X Cosair pc3200 512mb, and a 2500 Barton. I' be overclocking down the road, but initialy i'm going to leave it at the base specs.(I like to just overclock in smaller increments when i start getting annoyed at the performance of the comp heh.) So any reccomendations are apreciated, i'm just going to order it all from newegg.com.

Most DDR ram now comes with HeatSpreaders so there's no need to buy additional cooling.

yeah, corsair XMS has heatspreaders and heatspreaders are pretty much useless
Unless you just want to look "cool". That's about all the heatspreaders do, they look nice.
