Been running these Mushkin Redlines in my 780i Rig for about 3 yrs now..excellent RAM....not sure about the new name "Frostbyte"...they look like the same old Redline XP's to me.....decent price still too for 2 x 2GB..overclock well with low vDimm and low Temps

That was the main problem with it, i would know what to get if it was DDR2, but since its DDR3, im not too sure.

That 790i will handle just about any DDR3 Dual Channel kit you throw at it.......as in 2 x 2GB DDR3 1333, 1600, 1866 even up to 2000 Mhz......if you go with 3 x 2GB it will work, BU not in Dual Channel mode, stick to Dual Channel.
