The RAM I posted is CAS 7 vs. CAS 9 for the kit you linked to. The real-world difference isn't huge, but I would get the lowest CAS RAM that fits your budget. I didn't realize you were from Canada. Here's the RAM I suggested on the www.newegg.ca site:

G.SKILL PI Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7T-6GBPI $201.49

NCIX carries a CAS 6 version.

G.SKILL F3-12800CL6T-6GBPI Pi Series 6GB 3X2GB DDR3-1600 CL6-8-6-20 240PIN Triple Channel Memory Kit $214.99

Corsair charges a premium for their name. That's why slow Corsair RAM costs more than faster G.Skill RAM.

The RAM should work just fine with your motherboard. The RAM compatibility lists are far from complete. You may just need to manually set the RAM speed, timings, and voltage in the BIOS. You should do that anyway, so it's not a big deal.
