I currently have DDR3 4x2gb of RAM, I would like to upgrade my RAM but I am not sure what the best RAM I can get is.

My computer specs are:
I7 2600 CPU
ASUS CG8350 Mainboard
NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti GPU
4 Sticks of ASint 2gb RAM 1333

I was hoping to upgrade to at least 16gb of total RAM, hopefully two 8gb sticks. This http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104505 is the RAM that I was looking to buy, I would like to know if it is possible to run this RAM as I heard something about 1600 RAM not working with my CPU. If someone could get back to me and let me know or even suggest a RAM upgrade that would be better, that would be amazing. Thanks in advance!

Awesome, thank you for your fast reply. If you were talking about my Core Voltage it fluctuates between .864 and .984 V. Also on the note of power related things, would it be worth getting a larger power supply as well? I'm currently only using a 400w off brand...

I see, that makes more sense. I'm assuming I'll know when I hook the savages up if I need to increase either of those? Aside from that I think I may look to pick up a better power supply as well, seems like it would be a good idea.
