Best ram for z68 chipset

[tbeech]

I'm looking to buy a Z68 chipset motherboard. What RAM should I choose to get the best out of this chipset?

i'm looking at the Gigabyte SKT-1155 Z68XP-UD3.

Considering it's a MoBo for Sandy Bridge CPUs, RAM @1600MHz is a great match.

I've been upgrading my pc recently. I already have a new graphics card and I am planning on getting the above motherboard, either a i5 2500k or i7 2600k (if I can afford it) and was planning on about 8gb ram. i've looked on the ram compatibilty list on Gygabyte's website and I'm having trouble finding those model numbers for sale. Corsair, G-skill, Patriot and Kingston come up regularly. I just want a recommendation.

For many Gigabyte MBs, G.Skill is among the certified RAM modules so I would recommend that. Not that it's needed to get certified modules, but G.Skill is good and their Ripjaw X series is inexpensive. I think this one is on their support list (it was on my Z68X-UD3H).
