It's upgrade time again for me. I have been using old, mixed RAM sticks from various computers. I would like to upgrade. I am currently using the Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 with an AMD FX8350 CPU (running at stock speed). I am looking to get better/ faster RAM for this. It's my gaming computer so I shouldn't need more than 8GB.

What I'm asking- whats the best 8GB set of ram for this mobo/ cpu in a reasonable price range? (I know it offers dual-channel, but I don't even know what this means (not familiar with RAM functions))

IMPORTANT NOTE: I use the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo with 2 fans- the Ram needs to be on the shorter side or I shouldn't use the slot closest to my cpu heatsink,otherwise it will probably hit.
Thanks in advance
