After much thought of which RAM I should get for my Phenom II 955/MSI 790FX-GD70 build..

I decided to go for these once I get some extra cash:

2x2GB OCZ Platinum 1.65V DDR3 1600

[Look into lower voltage RAM, which is beneficial for overclocking that it provides more headroom.]

I really don't like Corsairs RAM as they have failed on me twice. I'd get some G.Skill RAM, they always make good stuff. But really any high end OCZ, G.Skill or Mushkin RAM will do.
