I'm working on a build and still need to pick out the RAM and motherboard. I know that I'll be using the Intel Core i7-950, so I was looking at the following X58 motherboards:

The first motherboard (the Gigabyte) doesn't appear to support DDR3-1600 RAM which is really what I'm shooting for. I don't want to go with slower RAM. The second motherboard does (the Asus). Obviously, I'm leaning towards the Asus motherboard, but does anyone out there have any ideas as to what RAM to pair with it (I'm planning on 12 GB...2 6 GB kits)? This is what I have picked out at the moment:

Any thoughts or opinions on the motherboard/CPU/RAM trio are much appreciated! Thanks so much!
