Which choice is better for my proposed rig?

[Hyzepher]

Hi

I am in the process of building a new rig from scratch and want to build it around the Asus P5N-E 650i mobo that I got at a good price. I have decided on the E6400 and now want to make a decision on the memory.

I was set on getting the 2Gb Ballistix PC-5300 as it seems to be very good and will o/c to what I want (I am hoping for a 3.2Ghz system after o/c). Recently I was offered the OCZ 2Gb PC-8500 Sli for a good price (£145) and now dont know what to do. If I opt for the 8500 will it be overkill or does any of my other kit restrict it

help needed - thanks

I'm running an E6400 with Crucial 10th Aniv (basically "hand-picked" Ballistix), and i'm at 425x8 on the core (3.4Ghz), sync with ram at 4-4-4-10-14-16-2T.

Scorchingly fast!
