G.Skill TridentX Series - Memory - 16 GB : 2 x 8 GB - DIMM 240-pin - DDR3 - 1600 MHz / PC3-12800 - CL7 - 1.5 V - unbuffered - non-ECC

or
G.Skill SNIPER Series - Memory - 16 GB : 2 x 8 GB - DIMM 240-pin - DDR3 - 1866 MHz / PC3-14900 - CL9 - 1.5 V - unbuffered - non-ECC

Solution
The Trident X series is the better memory kit, but as one person mentioned, you may not notice a difference, so you can just go with the cheaper one. The Sniper Series is DDR3-1866 CL9, but the Trident X series can do DDR3-1866 CL8. Either kit will be great for your ASUS P8Z77-V PRO motherboard.

Thank you
