I'm using OCZ Vista Upgrade. The OCZ Reaper or Kingston HyperX were also compatible options, just a bit more expensive. There's a "memory support list" at this URL:

Read these, they'll give you 2 more suggestions for RAM each, with lots of details:

This mobo is particularly friendly to coolers because it leaves plenty of room for them. I went with the Scythe Ninja because it's quiet, but the Thermaltake Ultra 120 Extreme would cool better.

And the cooler:

If you use the cooler don't forget to also buy the mounting bracket

Only problem it's to find where are the correct setting the memory in the bios after everything okay.

In the main bios page hit Ctrl + F1 and the hidden settings will magically appear.
