looking at two CORSAIR XMS3 4GB 1600 or G.SKILL Ripjaws 4GB 1600 will be matched up with amd 965BE and a GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD5 mobo, prob either one would be good?

Gskill is good but can be a finniky set of dimms.

I would go Corsair. More user friendly and excellent performance.

I just don't know how many times I purchased Gskill memory and it couldn't hit the timings it advertised without gritting my teeth for hours.

I had that issue with the GSkill 1066 on my previous setup. Pissed me off cause you spend the money. With the help of google and Gskill support, I got the timings and voltage right, I had to go several levels deep into the timings that most don't touch ever.

Go Corsair. I won't be doing GSkill again.
