Ram for work-based application

[LebronJames23]

Hi, i am going to assemble a desktop based on a bit leaning towards more work-based orientated desktop. I would be using either; MOBO - ASUS P5Q DELUXE or GIGABYTE EP45-DS3R, CPU - Q6600, PSU - ANTEC TRUPOWER 650W, GRAPHICS CARD ???, RAM ???. Could anyone refer me to some reliable yet fast rams with low clock latency to allow faster prefetching? My system would revolve around Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, AutoDESK Inventor, AutoCAD 2009, MATLAB, LABVIEW and Visual Studio.net '08. I would kindly appreciate if anyone here could fill me in on the missing components thank you.

Whats your budget for a graphics card?

Budget >$200

Hi my budget is as mentioned above, though it's bit tight but i assume you could still dish out some recommendations. Greatly appreciate your help thank you.

Is that $200 for the ram and graphics card? If not then the 4850 that Ham posted in the other thread is great for the price. See the review of the Asus one on OC3D

Separately

I am allocating $200 for graphics card and ram individually.

Then I would get the Radeon 4850 that Ham linked you to and:

Fast Ram: OCZ Flex II 4GB PC2-9200 5-5-5-18 - $140 after rebate.

I have these and I have them running @ 1175mhz 5-5-5-15.
