Hello,
I am new to building computers and need some help choosing RAM. I choose the ASUS P8Z77-V DELUXE as my MoBo ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131818 ) and need help finding 16gb of RAm to go along with it.
I have heard that it is easier to upgrade if you have 2x8gb sticks of RAM but in the qualified vendor list, I did not find that option under the 1600 MHz speed. I did find that the following sticks of RAM are qualified.

How do these perform? Any good reviews to read? What is the difference between 4*4 and 2*8 sticks of RAM?
Any other helpful tips would be great. The rest of my build so far include:
Intel Core i7-3770K
ASUS P8Z77-V DELUXE
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 1600
EVGA NVIDIA GTX680 2GB overclocked
NZXT Phanton 630 - Matte Black
I need the rest of the pieces. Thanks in advance!
P.S.: This is a gaming computer so maybe 16 gbs might not be needed.
