What Ram U guys recommend for My specs I currently have the Corsair Dominator 6GB  1600MHz the ones that the timings are 7-7-7-20 and I want 12GB. And the less expensive kit I have found online of the ones I have now is like $200.
And i think that for less I can buy a triple channel 12GB kit. I want something good not some crappy ram.  

Thermalteke Spedo AP 
Core I7 920 DO @ 4.2Ghz  currently running 4.0Ghz
2 GTX 480's in SLI
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit  
6 GB DDR3 1600 7-7-7-20
1 Ocz Agility 3 240GB SSD
2 1TB WD in RAID0

    Any particular for wanting 12GB of RAM? The best you are probably going to find at 12GB is going to be around CAS 9. Maybe even CAS 8, but those are hard to come across.

    May have to loosen the timings up just a little. Then again you may not, depends on how much play is in the RAM.

    I have heard a lot of good things about this RAM, it is pretty much top notch for a 12GB triple channel kit. No doubt it could hit 1700MHz, just have to loosen up those latency timings when overclocking.

    I have that RAM running at 7-8-8, 1444Mhz, great stuff but I haven't tried to OC it. That kit was $230 back in January, I got it for $180 in March.
    They seem to be out of it most of the time, nice to see it in stock at a great price.
