I am about to purchase a 955BE and a MSI 790FX GD70 board but I am undecided on which ram to purchase and from where.

I think I would like to go with 1600mhz ram but wish to have the lowest timings possible, I have also been recommended to look for ram with samsung HCF0 or micron chips (dont know why or how to find out which ram has them). I have also been pointed in the direction of OCZ Animal 1333 Platinum but can't find them in the UK.

Any Ideas

Thanks

This link is from MSI's own site (for recommended memory) so it should start you off on the right track:

As a result of several reports I bought the Corsair 4Gb DDr3 TW3X4g16009DHX, this runs under normal conditions at 1333 but can be overclocked to 1600, it works quite well in my new rig
