Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I upgraded from a 512x2 dual channel to 2x3 tri-channel and its amazing! Yet this has nothing to do with the thread but yeah overall more ram should benefit you more then 1066
Difference (compared to corsair) ? I'm not too sure about that. I read they are just about the same in performance. But looking at the p&c price at zipzoomfly, that should make the decision much easier.

you...
It seems we have just about the same specs beside hdt and psu. Fortunately, I was able to clock 180 bclk without having to up any of my voltages. my goal is just 200 bclk for everyday usage.
For OP, when I was building my first i7 2 weeks ago I was in the same situation picking between those...
if you live anywhere near MC in Tusin they should have d0, i got mine from there. With the i7 d0, they do 3.4-3.6 in a breeze. I was able to clock up to 180 bclk with stock volts.
For case, IMO NZXT tempest or my new favorite cooler master 690 (you can check it out @ MC while your there :)...
