I'm planning on buying my triple channel ddr3 ram today and wondered if you guys had any suggestions about which kit to buy?
I've been looking at the following:
OCZ Gold 6GB DDR3 PC3-10666C9 Low-Voltage Triple Channel Kit (3 X 2GB) - Great Deal at £66.99! - Also Overclocks very well according to Andy on a previous forum post..
Kingston HyperX 6GB (3 X 2GB) Intel XMP DDR3 12800C9 1600MHz Tri-Channel Kit - £85.99
OCZ Reaper 6GB (3 X 2GB) DDR3 PC3-14400 (1800MHz) Tri-Channel - £113.99
I've heard that 1333Mhz is all you need for i7, but would it be worth getting a 1600Mhz or 1800Mhz Kit?
I plan to overclock my i7 920 to 3.8Ghz+ on air, would i be able to make full use of 1600 / 1800Mhz speed kits with my Asus P6T Deluxe Mobo?
[I've already installed an ASUS P6T Deluxe, i7 920, Corsair TX850W, and Noctua NH-U12P into an Antec 900-2 Case. I am also planning to add in a GTX 295 when I can afford it.]

Just so you guys have an idea of the build - in case it would effect the choice of RAM.
Cheers!
I'm going down to overclockers to buy some parts today so help me decide on which kit would be best!
