Default Cheap Triple Channel for DX58SO/i7 950

It's amazing how everytime I decide to buy stuff is when other expenses come in and ruin my budget. lol. I've been looking around for triple channel RAM and saw that the prices are wildly different.

Some are as low as $70 for 3x1 kit and some are as high as $200 for 3x1 kit.

I'm interested to know if these $70 kits offer decent performance and if its any good with an i7 950 (not really looking to overclock right now). These aren't the value ones without a heatsinks (for some reason those cost more than these), here are a couple of examples: (They are all sold out right now, so I guess everyone is buying them)
