I'm not trying to get someone else to do my homework for me... But I've been 'racking my brains' all day on this, and I've not arrived at a conclusion...
I really could use an extra set of eyes, so they say...

What processor are you working with at the time of writing? Regardless of what ram kit you're going to drop(one's that are rated for speeds higher than DDR3-1333MHz) the ram will be downclocked. In this regard, you're probably going to be paying premium for a DDR3-2133MHz am kit but the ram kit will run at DDR3-1333MHz, provide that the motherboard will work with higher spec'd rams.

What rams are you working with?
