Hi guys!

Which memory is best for my new i5 build, will probably choose motherboard msi-p55-gd65 with gtx275

G.Skill 2X2GB (F3 -16000) 2000Mhz CL9

or

G.Skill 2X2GB (F3 -12800) 1600Mhz CL7

I will probably do a moderate overclock to 3,5-3,8Ghz 'cause I need 24/7 stability

Which matters more frequency or Clockings - price is approximatly the same.

Could you provide us with some links to the different RAMs?

Basically both sets are about equal, so it doesn't matter which one you pick. Since it's an Intel build, you might have some advantage going with the faster ram and higher timings.

Listen to this guy, he has done his homework when it comes to RAM.
