Gigabyte only shows one ram kit above 2300MHz (Geil GET34GB2500C9DC 2 x 2GB) which would run at 2000MHz. Anything above 1600MHz and the motherboard can only support two DIMMs. One thing I noticed is that Gigabyte has not tested ram over 4GB for that board.
On the other side, Kingston has tested some ram with that board and suggests using HyperX FURY Memory Black - 16GB Kit* (2x8GB) - DDR3 1866MHz CL10 DIMM Part Number: HX318C10FBK2/16 (doesn't have to be black, other colors are the same) or the HyperX FURY Memory Black - 16GB Kit* (2x8GB) - DDR3 1600MHz CL10 DIMM Part Number: HX316C10FBK2/16 (again, other colors are available)

As far as the HyperX Savage, it may work (at 2000MHz) but no guarantees of that

With an 8350 you are probably looking at running 1866 or 2133, I've got a couple of the 2400/32GB Savage sets and they are good, it's your CPUs MC (memory controller) that will tell the tale of how fast they can run, each CPU/MC is individual
