Corsair is pretty much a safe bet with any board out there. Overclocking ability is questionable. Where are you doing your shopping? If they have an online store could you provide a link and perhaps we could find some other memory that may be better.
Other than that, everything looks to be pretty good. |

I prefer to go with Geil memory [with CAS7 if pricing is good].

Yeah your choices there are very limited. From what I could see of all they had listed, that Vengeance kit is probably your best. However, keep in mind that the heat sink on it is very tall and you may run into issues if you're mounting an aftermarket CPU cooler.
Can you use Amazon or newegg.ca? |

What's your budget for the RAM itself?

Ok, so I looked at all of your options and I found this kit: G.Skill RipJaws Z series, 2133MHz 4x4GB.
For the price I think it's an excellent deal. Granted it's CAS11 @ 2133MHz, however, if you lower it to 1866MHz, I bet you could tighten the timings considerably. For $111 shipped, 16GB's of fast RAM, I think would be a great deal. NOTE: It says that this RAM is specifically designed for the x79 platform, I read some of the reviews and found that people with z77 boards could get it running @ it's rated speed with a little tweaking. |
