I upgrading some part on my PC soon.I have decided to get a Prolimatech Megahalems(the best cooler available, correct me if I am wrong), an Antec 1200(the best full tower with air filters, correct me if I am wrong), but I am not too sure on what RAM to buy.I have a XFX 780i SLI, and my processor(Q6600) is overclocked(2.8 right now, but plan to go further).Is this RAM good enough for the job?

As for the RAM you have selected, those heat spreaders are perty tall and may interfere with the mega. I haven't checked compatibility but your gonna want something more along these lines.
