So I have a couple of questions, but i first like to say the specs of my to be built computer:

Q6600
gigabyte ds4 p35
8800 gt
thermalright 120

so the problem is with the ram. I really want to be able to over clock this thing to about 3.4 -3.6. But i do want to get ram that is not ridiculously expensive. Well I was looking at g-skill ram timings 5-5-5-15, ddr2 800. I was wondering if 800 will be enough, but 800 should cover me till 3.6 right? then...what about the ram timings..do they make a difference..it seems to really go up in price if you buy ram with better timings but does it make that much of a difference. thanks!
