Hi, will be building a new PC soon and need help choosing which will be the best RAM from the selection below. I was advised to get the "Patriot Sector 5 Viper II 4GB (2x2GB) PC3-12800 1600MHz Dual Channel + 3D Mark Vantage", but OCuK dont have it anymore! :( My budget is around £85 not more, and will have a Phenom II X4 965BE 3.4ghz with Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5770 and Asus M4A79XTD Evo

10666 - Corsair 4GB (2X2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMV4GX3M2A1333C9)

10666 - OCZ Platinum 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit (OCZ3P1333LV4GK)

12800 - OCZ Obsidian 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 Dual Channel (OCZ3OB1600LV4GK)

12800 - Corsair XMS3 DHX 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600C9DHX Twin3X (TW3X4G1600C9DHX)

12800 - Patriot Sector 5 G Series 4GB (2x2GB) PC3-12800 1600MHz Dual Channel (PGV34G1600ELK)

I dont know much about which RAM to pick, what is latency/timings all about? (e.g. 7-7-7-24). I will also overclock eventually, so which will be best and how to do this also!! Any help on which one to pick would help!!

Many Thanks
