I am about to upgrade my old athlon.I am picking up MSI 790FX-GD70 motherboard and athlon 2 X3 425 Cpu.Thats what my budget can get me right now.Decided i should spend alot on a good case/psu/motherboard so i wont throw it in the trash next time i upgrade.I have however trouble choosing witch ddr3 ram to get.I am interested in OC too.
Thats what i can choose from :

OCZ Black Edition AMD Ready 4GB DDR3-1600 (2 x 2GB, PC3-12800, 8-8-8-24, OCZ3BE100C8LV4GK)

G.SKILL F3-10666CL9D-4GBRL 4GB PC3-10666 1333MHZ RIPJAWS DUAL CHANNEL

G.SKILL F3-10666CL9D-4GBNQ 4GB PC3-10666 DUAL CHANNEL KIT

G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ 4GB PC3 12800 1600MHZ DUAL CHANNEL KIT

G.SKILL F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH 4GB PC3-10666 1333MHZ RIPJAWS DUAL CHANNEL KIT

Assuming i will OC witch one of these should i pick?Or should i just look for something else.Looking to spend below 100 euros for my ram and selection is limited where i live.

I agree go with the G.SKILL F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH 4GB PC3-10666 1333MHZ RIPJAWS DUAL CHANNEL KIT. I have G.Skill memory myself and I love it. I would buy G.Skill every time for ram If I could! Cant go wrong with G.Skill!

For that MSI board I would recommend OCZ Platinum low voltage AMD edition memory at 1600MHz. There is a thread on the OCZ support forum showing this board getting the Platinum ram down to 5-5-5-24 1T at 1333MHz which actually performs better than running the ram at 1600MHz with stock timings. It is a great board with lots of potential.

I dont have the low voltage kit but I was able to get mine down to 6-6-6-20 1T without any issues.

EDIT: if you only have the option for the OCZ Black Edition memory you specified then I would go with that but I think the Platinum low voltage kit would probably be less expensive (not sure if its available to you though)
