Hey guys

I'm having difficulty choosing the appropriate memory for my system, so was wondering if anyone could give me some insight?

My current rig is as follows:

I'm currently looking at purchasing the following memory:
G.Skill F3-2400C10D-16GTX - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f32400c10d16gtx

Would anyone be able to let me know if this is a good choice, or if there are better alternatives and the reasons behind it? FYI, I'll definitely be overclocking the CPU, and this rig is predominantly built for gaming and video editing.

Thanks in advance!

Also, I'm wishing I had the patience for the VII Formula but oh well :p
