G.Skill Trident 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C9 2000MHz Triple Channel Kit
2000MHz RAM Speed, CAS 9-9-9-24 Timings, 1.60-1.65v VDIMM, Lifetime

OR

Corsair Dominator 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Triple Channel Kit
1600MHz RAM Speed, CAS 8-8-8-24 Timings, 1.6-1.65v VDIMM, Lifetime

OR

G.Skill PI Series 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Triple Channel Kit
1600MHz RAM Speed, CAS 6-8-6-20-2N Timings, 1.60v VDIMM, Lifetime Warranty with G.Skill.

I personally think the last one is the best, would it be worth it to put that little bit extra and get the 2000mhz edition even though its timings aren't as great as the 1600 mhz.

But why? Doesn't it have slower timings?

Lower is better. Though from what I've read the difference is quite minimal. I would get the Dominator just because they look awesome.

the corsair, however its possible to tighten the timings with the other two...but don't be suprsied if it don't work, those corsairs are tested at cas8
