I am currently have 8GB (2x4GB) of Corsair Vengeance PC3-10700 and I think it is time for an upgrade. Any recommendations on RAM for this? There are a million brands and I am so lost. Price is not that big of a deal, but I am wondering if it is even worth putting 32gb into this system. I do a fair amount of gaming if that helps. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Gaming wise 16GB is all you will need, when the requirement for more comes around you will also have to replace that CPU. 1600mhz VS 2133 in gaming is next to nothing noticeable. The only reason to upgrade is for higher overclocking headroom which is negated by your motherboards 4+2 power phase.
