Will Crucial 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Ballistix work well with ASUS VI Hero Z87?

Here is another suggestion i would like you to go with:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£62.79 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £62.79
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
(Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-03-20 13:35 GMT+0000)

I would say G-skill have unmatched price-performance ratio. Also, if you are going with total of 8gb RAM, it is better to pick 2 sticks each with 4gb. Good luck :)
