Hey,

So I'm going to be getting myself GA-990FXA-UD3 soon and wanted suggestions for which memory kit I should get.

I want to be running 8GB or 12GB of memory.

Processor I'm planning on is AMD FX Series 8120
 
Crucial Ballistix sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model BLS2KIT4G3D1609DS1S00

or

Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model 996995

12 GB is not a valid RAM configuration for this MB.

Note that this MB requires you to do a BIOS update prior to running AM3+ FX series cpus.
