there it is...this will be my first build and its for intense gaming so tell me if it will work and what to change :)
 
is it better RAM? its more expensive than what i was thinking of purchasing...

You won't utilize the 2000Mhz speed of the OCZ Golds and their timings are awful. For gaming it just isn't needed.

The Corsair's are a little more but they're great RAM with better timings and system friendly speeds.

These CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 are $5 more than the OCZ's you like also with the same timings minus XMP, are great.
 
awesome... so its just better quality...thanks for all the help people you guys are awesome!
