What CPU? IF a K model I'd go 3200/14, it's the sweetspot for price to performance, I lean to GSkill and their Trident Z and RipJaws V lines (I have the Tri Z in my rigs as they have a little extra OC headroom

Adata has good DRAM, see how it goes with the 8GB as there are no guarantees when mixing packages of DRAM, else if the DRAM is returnable - return and get a 2x8GB set which will run smoother and be less stress on the MC (memory controller)

Easily, but for 16GB would want 2x8GB, less stress on the MC(memory controller) and may bit a tad faster

Aha, trick question 
Those are the same sticks, slightly different color scheme (grey shade), Back with the DDR3 line of Trident X all were red, the new DDR4 Z line comes in a variety of color schemes, can see many options on color here :

I went with the standard Z (original in the sets I've played with - go well both with my Z170-Hero and the X99-Strix I have

So should I buy the G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Intel Z170 Platform / Intel X99 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GTZB If not, could you tell me which one specifically (a link maybe) I should buy?

I'd go 2x8GB rather than 4x4GB, less stress on the MC (memory controller, which can inhibit CPU OCing a bit

No I'm wondering whether I should buy this one - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231929
or a different kind.
