Im building a new rig but i dont know what ram to buy

Ima use a qx6700 and a evga 680i probably, looking to spend 150-200$ maybe a bit more if its really worth it

Assuming you are overclocking these sticks are an awesome deal!

If you don't trust buy.com or for any other reason get the G Skills at the egg..

These Gskills are D9s.

Both will overclock great, especially the Ballistix ($143 is the cheapest I have ever saw them go for).

If you were to overclock the RAM no extra cooling equipment is needed. Both models come with heatspreaders.

The best? Well no, there are RAM sticks that come with higher stock speeds, but with the QX6700 you really don't need 1337 RAM.
