In general higher clocked or low latency RAM does very little for performance in games these days, especially when coupled with new CPU's
At most i'd get a CL9 1600MHZ set as past that prices skyrocket for barely any gains.

As for the 6970, my system with a 6950 runs CLOD very well at high settings and besides the blue lines issue, which will be fixed sooner or later, has no ATI specific hickups at all
