I'm not really sure I understand your build here. If you don't want to overclock your CPU, there's no reason to buy expensive RAM. Regular Crucial, Corsair, or Kingston will be fine for your PC if you're not gonna OC. It's twice as cheap and puts out the same performance as the expensive stuff (unless you're gonna OC). Good choice on getting a nice videocard though...that's where it counts. I'd also get 2 GB of RAM, especially if you plan on playing BF2 (that game is unbelievably ram-hungry). It's viable to get 2 GB of RAM nowadays when you can get 1 GB for $80. If anyone has ever told you that lowering the ram timings will increase performance, then they're simply trying to produce pretty 3d Mark numbers. You cannot tell a difference between low and high latency RAM...it's better to have more ram than faster latency ram, always.
