You sound confused (no offence intended) so without going into latency and clock cycles I'll just recommend some ram.
Corsair XMS2 800mhz DDR2 (for the board you said you were getting). CL5. I mention CL5 as there are different flavours of this ram, so just look for that. Best bet is to get 2x1gb (gigabyte) modules. It's sold in matched pairs so don't worry about buying single modules.

it looks like the low latency ones are cheaper....should I be looking for the 5-5-5-12 ones for gaming?

i have that RAM. something about that when i got it the internals were different so it OC better than the current ones out. when you buy it matters cuz they change things about it over it that make make computer parts better or worse. not sure about this ram in particular. but i have that one and can OC to about 1000MHz. good choice. i too plan to play Crysis (who wouldnt want to??? :D )

Which btw, they are DDR2. If you would like to go for DDR3, corsair have the mentioned ones above in DDR3 as well but you have to bear in mind whether your mobo supports DDR3 or not.
