DDR3 memory and CPU fan recommendations for P5E3 Premium/Q9550

[sksaux1]

Hi all! I am building a system around a P5E3 Premium + Q9550 in an Antec 900 case.

Not planning to overclock at the moment.

I know that the board can be a bit finicky, so anyone have recommendations on what DDR3-1600 memory I should use (4GB total)?

Also, what CPU fan are people recommending?

Thanks!!!

If your going DDR3, get whatever speed matches your FSB (probably 1333 for that processer), as it will almost certainly be faster running in linked 1:1 mode.

As for brands:
Corsair
Patriot
OCZ
Mushkin

Pick one and be happy
