"Best bang for buck" DDR3 @ 1333mhz?

[paptimus]

Yeah DDR3 and "Best bang for buck" is pretty much an oxymoron, but I've already got my feet wet in it with a purchase of an Asus P5E3 mobo, so I'll be paying the price...literally!

In any case, I am in the market for some DDR3 PC3-10666/1333mhz kits. That about sums up where as far as my knowledge of memory components goes.

I am strongly leaning towards getting 4GB of ram (running Vista64, gaming, 3d work, etc.) and have a budget of about $600 (CAN) for this endeavor.

So I got what seems like an interesting listing from G.SKILL:

Any thoughts or recommendations on such a similar product?

I hope to receive some helpful suggestions (and teasing!) to point me in the right way.

Thanks in advance!

If I was you, right now I would pick a brand and get the cheapest RAM I can find. Hold it for around 3 months and see if decent speeds (1333, 1600) come down to reasonable prices.

Dont spend a fortune on a 1333mhz with good latency. DDR3 is not worth right now, but we all want to have future proof boards. I understand that and thats why Im telling u this. Thats what I would do.

A better solution to your problem is to sell the motherboard on Ebay.
Then buy a motherboard that uses DDR2.
I mean Christ you can get 4GB of ram at Newegg for $88, this is from the newest email sales pitch.
Hell 1GB of DDR3 on Newegg is $150.
