Help in choosing RAM!

[imakuzim]

Hello guys! Please help me in this. I have narrowed the search in newegg and I came up with this list

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007611%204802%20600006050%20600006076&IsNodeId=1&name=6GB%20%283%20x%202GB%29

my processor is i7 950.
Im not sure with my mobo yet.

Im still thinking if i go with

Gigabyte GA-X58-UD3R
or
Asus Sabertooth X58
or
Asus P6X58D-E

So yeah that is my possible mobos. But if you guys can give better idea @ $200 more or less price range then I would appreciate that.

Back to my question.. which could be the best ram among the list at best price?
And you can ignore the OCZ rams coz I read topics that they really get hot too much and has lots of problems.
Im really lost in these part, I just don't know whats good memory -.-

^I don't agree, I love Mushkin {very cool looking!}, but they were beaten by the Corsair Dominator TR3X6G1600C8D 8-8-8-24 - TRUST ME - I WAS SHOCKED!

Comparison Modules:

Comparison Module #1: Mushkin Redline 996805 6-8-6-24 1600MHz
Comparison Module #2: G.Skill Pi Series 7-8-7-24 1600MHz
Comparison Module #3: Mushkin 998687 8-9-8-24 1866MHz
Comparison Module #4: Corsair Dominator TR3X6G1600C8D 8-8-8-24 1600MHz
Comparison Module #5: Kingston HyperX T1 9-9-9-27 1600MHz
Comparison Module #6: Mushkin Blackline 998677B 7-7-7-20 1333MHz
Comparison Module #7: Patriot Viper II Sector 7 9-9-9-27 1800MHz

The Mushkin Enhanced Redline 1600 6-8-6-24 998805 are slowed versions of the Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 1866 MHz 8-9-8-24 998687

^^ Ohh.. i did not know that!! Infact i myself am in to the final stages of finalizing a memory module for myself. Ironically i have been researching over various forums including tom's, asking for comparision between corsair;s and mushkin redlines, and almost everyone (mod's, of the forums, tech guru's, hardcore pc enthsiasts) swore by mushkin redlines for their T1 timings and latencies.

Now i am really confused.. Dont know what to go for? I myself love Corsiar's solid looks.. but.. having read the reviews... makes it look different.

Also logically, dont you think, better latency and tighter timings = better and faster ram?? so how can it beat corsiar with lower latency and T1 timings??

Thanks people! With much ideas and arguments I came to decide to GO for the CORSAIR! It's my first choice too anyway

As treefrog07 said, It's hard to argue with a picture

My biggest thanks goes to jaquith =]

Just a follow up question though,

Why http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145224
instead of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145286

The latter had better timings with same speed so I assume its a better kit?
And most of all its priced LOWER than the first!

I too have learned much from this post, and my ASS-U-MTION is the reason has something to do the the CONSISTENCY of the CAS verses the lowest number in the CAS.

I would get the CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C8D for $10 USD more.

7-8-7-20 - Corsair CMX6GX3M3C1600C7
8-8-8-24 - Corsair TR3X6G1600C8D
7-8-7-24 - G.SKILL Pi Series
