It has been along time since i built a system and am way out of date. I am following this guide http://www.anandtech.com/guides/showdoc.aspx?i=3610&p=4 to build a amd midvalue system... Already bought motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P) and X3 720 processor but cant find the ram (4GB DDR2-1150 OCZ Blade OCZ2B1150LV4GK 5-5-5-15 at 1.8v) anywhere what is a good second option that I can overclock the hell out of? would like to stay in same price range if possible....

I don't like overclocking RAM as it is too touchy and doesn't give you a real perceivable performance boost.

Just find any dual channel kit you are comfortable with. OC the rest of the system as you wish.

This. Every time I mess with my RAM my system gets screwy, even if I just up it from the 6-6-6-18 that the board defaults to to 5-5-5-18 that it's spec'ed at, probably because of the board more than the RAM though.

Just get some DDR2-800 or 1066 g.skill or corsair and you're set. There's no good reason to get that specific RAM. I'm surprised they recommended it
