Will this RAM work properly?

Okay, so I'm going to be building a new PC soon and have a question about the ram I'm getting.
I'm going to be getting a core i7 920 and it says it supports DDR3 1066 and my motherboard supports types.
I'm going to get an OCZ Gold 2GBx3 DDR3 2000 kit and I want to know if it will work/play nicely with my processor?

ANOTHER EDIT :p
Okay, did some reading and I found out that 2000mHz isnt always the most stable... so I looked around for some 1600mHz
Will 1600mHz work with an i7 920?
Which of these two 6GB kits are better?

currently i use 1600 MHZ with my i7. you would get the same performance in games also with lower end modules.

2000mhz modules are a total waste, maybe they become useful with the i7 clocked @ 6ghz :p.

bandwidth on triple channel will be plenty.

buy 3 sticks of 2gb each, and it will be ok for anything you want to do with your computer
 
Thanks a bunch guys, going out to get the kit today, plus a case. Then all I have to do is wait to buy every other part I need lol :(
