will NOT be overclocking anything... so what would be the ideal ram for me?.. i was originally gonna get Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200LLPT but i think maybe its a bit to pricey considering i wont be overclocking... any suggestions? ^^

go with corsair c2 or kingston they make really good ram and go at cas 2 if you are running it at default vcore in spec i would recommend tho go with a 2500+ and oc it to 3200+ since mostly all bartons can do that
