Solution
Why buy 1866 when your board supports 2133 ? ..... 2133 (even 2400) is about the same price.

Corsair Vengence Pro dropped the Hynix Modles so I'd recommend these Muskin Redline 2133 CAS 9 .... , they are also the cheapest set available at $100 at any CAS speed but sold out now on newegg

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007611%20600006050%20600006142%20600006072%20600006157

You'll notice that the Mushkins have 9-11-11-28 while most everyone else is 9-11-11-30 which is usually indicative of Hynix modules.

$155 here ... $5 more than the Gskills on newegg link...

get corsair vengeance 1600mhz(upto 2400mhz OC)

tip:
instead of upgrading ram get better CPU like fx-6300
