I generally stick with plain old kingston value ram. it's got a lifetime warranty. never had a problem with it. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-memory-kvr1333d3s8n9k24g

Yeah the main reason i didn't go for the 1333 sticks was purely laziness - i was hoping to get it all from Amazon.co.uk (to save on postage and to stop me having to signup to another site) and they didn't have the 1333 sticks in stock!

Yeah this occurred to me last night - thanks!
lilshawn:
sound like unfortunatly the FX line is the end of the line for the AMD platform. AMD won't be making CPUs anymore... deciding focusing mainly on APU's like the A-series processors is the way to go. (APU's are basically a CPU and GPU in one.) while not necessarily a bad thing, it may cause intel prices to go up for the CPU purists simply because there won't be a "direct" CPU competition.
hopefully the rumor is unfounded, but :dunno intel seems to already be douchey enough.
i don't think things are going to change for a while.
