Motherboard and Ram compatibility

I don't have your board, but I've had fantastic luck with Muskin Blackline RAM in all of my builds. There's never been a compatibility issue with any of my boards.

I don't have that board but I can tell you I see no issues with running any G Skill ram with that rig, in fact i would look to up the speed and go with 2x4gb in at least 1866 or 2133 mhz as the price increase will be marginal and this is the time to go for speed, heck you can push that bad boy all the way to these or beyond:

Newegg.com - G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C11D-8GSR

I'm sure any of these will work, check the Features tab. I like the Sniper series, I have 5 sets of them.

I wouldn't be sweating the ram but I would place lots of thought into as much cooling capacity as you can get to that CPU if you intend to OC at all. What case are you going to be using and what are your thoughts as to Air vs Water and what limitations do you have with the case?

Will it make any difference since the processor recommends 1600mhz speed? Thanks! :)

Yes it will be markedly snappier and if you saved tons maybe stick with 1600 (it's not a bad choice) but why handicap yourself when the mobo calls for up to 3000mhz (huge dollars).

By the way, that CPU can run RAM maybe up to 2666MHz if you get a good one. It defaults to 1600 if not adjusted or XMP set in the UEFI/BIOS.
