What memory for this build?
I'm working on a new build for Q1 2010. Trying to figure out which memory would go best with this system.

CPU: core i7 920
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5970
PSU: Silverstone Strider ST1500
Boot Drive: Intel x25-M 160GB G2 SSD
Storage Drive: WD Caviar Green
Optical Drive: LG Blu-Ray burner
Sound: HT|Omega Claro Halo XT
Mobo: EVGA Classified
Case: Lian Li PC-343B
OS: Win 7 Pro 64-bit
Display: Dell 3007WFP-HC 30"
Sleeving: MDPC-X
Radiators: Black Ice SR-1
Pumps: MCP-355
Reservoirs: XSPC Laing DDC Reservoir Pump Attachment
CPU block: Swiftech Apogee GT
GPU block: EK-FC5970 - Nickel
Mobo block: EK-FB KIT-EVGA-CLASSIFIED-AC/NK
fittings: compression fittings, nickel plated.
Main options I'm considering:
Mushkin Redline 6 GB, 6-7-6-18 @ 1600 MHz (nice timings)

Corsair Dominator GT: 6 GB, 8-8-8-24 @ 2000 MHz (nice heat sinks & fan)

G.Skill Perfect Storm: 6 GB, 9-9-9-24 @ 2133 MHz (nice speed)

OCZ Gold: 12 GB, 8-8-8-24 @ 1600 MHz (more memory)

Corsair Dominator: 24 GB, 9-9-9-24 @ 1333 MHz (most memory)

Presumably I could just buy two of the 6GB kits to make a 12GB setup, but I've also heard that it's easier to achieve higher clocks with less memory, so I'm a bit leery.
