    Newegg...I found some for like 120$. That is where I get all mine, I'd say get some gskill 1333mhz memory, I've never had a problem from that site...Just ordered 600 bucks worth of stuff from them should be here in like 5 days.

    I just got the G.Skill 8GB kit from Newegg as well. They're way too reputable to rip anyone off. And I also wouldn't say that you need 8GB of RAM. I just got mine to look cool. :D

    the OCZ is good ram, there are a few cas 9-20 sticks out there(the OCZ being one of them), I'd pick those over the CAS 9-24 ram, because of the slightly tighter timmings.
