240-pin dimms, unbuffered
DDR3-1333 or DDR3-1600
Both will operate at DDR3-1333 speeds, so get which ever you can find cheaper
Don't worry about other specs like voltage and timing

Or go to the manufacture site!
Here's the specs

Ty for your quick response to my question!!

I found this ram -> KINGSTON KHX21C11T3K2/16X 16GB (2X8GB) DDR3 2133MHZ XMP BEAST SERIES DUAL CHANNEL KIT
Is this ram ok for my system?

BluffableYew · Apr 28, 2014

Yes, though when u install them it might read as 1333mhz, if so go into bios & enable XMP profile to unleash that beast

lol

DDR3-2133 RAM is supported by your motherboard and CPU, running at DDR3-1333 speed.
Running it faster than this is overclocking the memory bus of your CPU.
Your motherboard does support this, but you risk frying the CPU.

My bad! Could have misled him!

) yes the specs does say it supports

That confirms, board does but chip does not, bummer! Looks like them sticks will be overkill on the jig kiddo! Sorry pal!

mickypheonix · Apr 28, 2014

1600mhz at cas 7 would have been fine

Katsavidas AEtaireia · Apr 29, 2014

That means that i must buy a ram running at 1333 mhz
is this correct?

Can u propose me a ram from this shop?

VincentP · Apr 29, 2014

You can buy faster RAM up to DDR3-2133, but it will just run at DDR3-1333 speeds.
This would be fine:
