please help an old head rookie

I got tired of sharing with the kids and decided to build me a new fancy rig....only thing is I have never done this before and could use some help.
So far I have an Antec 900 case, Asus M4A89GTD PRO mobo with a 1055t. Trying to fugure out the best memory now. Been banging my head against the wall with everything thats out there...suggestions??

thanks,

Bill

I don't think you can really go wrong with GSkill, Corsair, OCZ, Mushkin, Crucial, Kingston...even off brands like Geil and Adata aren't terrible. There really isn't a terrible brand of RAM, but there are some really good ones. Corsair seems to get the nod from everyone...though your gonna pay for it, I've built a few systems recently with GSkill, they work well and the price is right. I got a deal on my Geil, they moved there RMA support oversees so I cannot wholeheartedly recommend them. OZC has a good reputation too.

Get ya a set of these...tried and true and reasonably priced. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277

$5 more for CL7 instead of CL9: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231303
