Which to choose?

Which of these sets would be best for a AM3 build?

1) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-203-CS
2) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-201-OC
3) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-191-OC

I've been told timings wont make a massive amount of difference, but 2nd lot are on offer and have 6-8-6-24 timings, does this mean they are better than the more exspensive 7-7-7-24 set?

Or would you guys recommend the corsairs instead? (9-9-9-24)

If the reapers are the way to go, will they fit in an antec 300?

Ta!

second choice.

lower timings are better for a AMD cpu memory controller

+1, really good RAM

They sure will, though they may interfere with some aftermarket CPU coolers. May I ask what CPU cooler you will be using?

Great, cheers!

option 2 any day.
Im considering selling my OCZ platinums and getting a pair of those. Might even make a profit out of it as well...

It's a no brainer, take option 2, provided the heatsinks don't get in the way of your CPU Cooler.
