If you were going to do OCing then the 1066 would be good otherwise Corsair XMS 800 will will work fine. If the 790 FX is referring to the Nvidia chipset, then that is a Sli board and can't do Crossfire.

790FX is the new AMD CrossFireX chipset and if you are using a Phenom CPU then you willl need DDR2-1066 for best performance.
