Hey guys, just bit on the EVGA x58 SLI for $99 and the microcenter 930 for $200. Simply too good a deal to pass up.

Need some ram to really let this setup stretch its wings. I will need 3 sticks for triple channel, correct? Any particularly good performers out there? What speeds should I be looking for?
 
Personally I would get at least DDR3-2000. The lower the timings and voltage the better.

With the 930, that should give you enough room to go to 4.4Ghz (22x200) IF your chip is up to it and you have good enough cooling.

That being said, you could run slower RAM and run a different memory divider, but in my experience, stuff is a lot smoother with the faster RAM.
