Most 16 GB kits will do the trick. It won't improve frame rates with current games, but will future-proof the build.

The build you have is more than fast enough.

Here's a kit that will do the job nicely:

That RAM won't work. Sorry about that. You need DDR3.

Yah, I like the GPU upgrade, I just dont know what I would really need it for though concerning the games I am playing right now. I also stream, so I was wondering what would help best with increasing my streaming performance.

Graphics, lol.
Your CPU is already extremely well equipped for streaming, getting another 8GB RAM kit of the same model, an SSD and GPU is the best setup here, as I mentioned.
