According to Gigabyte's qualified vendor list there are a number of options available to you though pretty much any triple channel kit found on Ebay/Craigslist can be dropped into your system. I personally prefer Samsung, Kingston or Mushkin. Mushkin's Blackline Ridgeback's can be dropped in.

If the kit you've found is a dual channel kit then stay away from it. If the kit you've found is also to be 1.25v then it is not the kit you're looking for. It should be between 1.65~1.8v kits. Any lower than 1.5v then you'll be stressing the memory controller on your rig or not be detected at all.

I bought my RIG back in 2010 and I am still running my A-Data Gaming PC1600 DDR3 AX3U1600GB2G9-3G. I bought it with 6GB and then added an additional 6GB shortly after.

A quick search nets everyone out of stock but if you can find them they have been solid for me...

EDIT - Same MB and I am running a I7-930

Just realized the memory QVL link was missing the right link. Fixed it!

As per the memory QVL, they are guaranteed to work out of the box with your system without any issues however if that were 100% true or followed upon then pretty much every memory manufacturer would be out of business. I thought you meant adding two 6GB kits which will total to 12GB's though if you're looking towards maxing your ram capacity to 24GB's you may have to settle for lowered frequencies.
