Should I buy memory now for a summer SB/BD build?

Hey all, just like the subject says. I'll be putting a new build together later this spring/summer (depending on which platform wins). With 15% off memory and it being dirt cheap, is there any reason not to buy now? I figure 8GB of 1600, or 1333 and overclocking it. I'll be OC'ing my 2500K, so not sure which is better. Any suggestions on brands etc? Since you can't overclock the BCLK much, does getting the "performance" ram matter now?

Thanks!
 
I would buy now. It's not likely to get much cheaper, and there's always the possibility that the price would increase by summer.
