AMD DDR3 suggestions?

Reference URL: Best ram for AMD platform

I am building the following desktop, but the major loose end for me is deciding on RAM,

CPU: Athlon II X4 635 $119.99 (or) AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor - Retail $159.99

RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10600CL9D-4GBNT - Retail $94.99

*SSD: Intel X25-M G2 SATA Solid State Drive - 80GB, SATA II, 2.5" Hard Drive, MLC $249.99*

MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-MA790GPT-UD3H AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail $104.99

*PSU: PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad $60*

I am wondering, based on the Phenom II X4 and AMD 790GX chipset... what is the best/cheapest possible Ram I should get (at least 4GB)
Who is the best IC manufacturer? E.g. Elpida or Micron, etc in the Dual Channel configurations?

Thank you!

corsair r nice...QA is right on target :p check out xtreme bandwidth section for ddr3 memory recommendations

i recently purchased the corsair xm3 2x2bg drr3 1600 7-8-7 kit for $115 and it does stock specs, still testing OC with my new asus 785g evo mobo

i was gonna go with cheaper g.skils ripjaws or evo's 1.35v kit but corsair quality seems to better.

seems like the corsair dominator gt's ddr3 2000 cas 8 kit r really overclocking nicely. i think there elpida correct me if im wrong... there more expensive but thats comes with good quality OC kits

msi, asus and gigabyte seem to be good bets for mobos and make sure you get C3 revision cause it has a better IMC

hope ths helps some what

also i think theres a thread showing the performance difference between 1333 5-5-5 and 1600 6-6-6

Ive heard good things about the corsairs, but have never owned any. Also the gskill isnt as good as it once was, I believe. OCZ has some great black edition memory, that syncs with AOD 3.1 very niceley.

Just make sure you put it in slot 3 and 4. It works runs at 1600 spec timings.

Slot 1 and 2. Is no post at 1600. Also unstable at ddr3 1333 with out timings and voltage messing around. Slot 3 and 4 perfect no problems.

C3 Phenom II 965 BE
Msi 790Fx-GD 70
2x2 gb OCZ AMD Black Edition 1600mhz DDR 3
