I'm not sure if the GSkill compatibility problems with Gigabyte motherboards have been totally sorted out so I've gone with Geil which has no known problems with the Gigabyte. It has a good aftermarket cooler, the X1800XT is as good as the 7900gt but cheaper plus hasn't had the reliability problems that affected some. I've also chosen the 200gb as it is from the 7200.10 range which is faster.
