Please advise if the memory will be ok.

Hi Guys

Ok I have my 3 new bits in sight for my new build. Going from the old E8400. I have been looking for so long and then thought I'd hold out a couple of weeks for Sandybridge.

Processor - Intel i5 2500

Motherboard - Gigabyte P67A-UD4 (purely so I can have crossfire and SLI support)

RAM - Corsair CMP4GX3M2A 1600C9 4GB. I put the part number in as this is listed as AMD and I am not sure if it works with Sandy Bridge. It is a dual channel kit. (Please advise)

All this including shipping for $553 which I think is pretty good. The Intel 2500 would be sufficient as I don't plan on going over 4.1ghz.

let me know about the RAM please guys.
