I need 2x8GB sticks or RAM and I was wondering the most cost efficient RAM I could get. My budget is 100$ and my motherboard will support anything you through at it.
 

the cheapest ram you find is on sale at micro center or new egg if your in the usa. most of the on sale ram will be ddr-3 1600 speed.

agree, with above. Your motherboard will not support anything you throw at it. You need to know at least the type..

Spending money on RAM for expensive timings is not cost effective to get you real world performance gains so, just get whatever meets your specs.
Prices for RAM are pretty competitive for each spec, so among whatever is compatible, get the cheapest or within a few dollars or so of the cheapest.

It is a commodity like gas. For the most part gas is gas, go for lowest price (but just like gas there are minor variations for special purposes, but in general, it doesn't make a difference).

My mobo can handle 4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 1866/1600/1333 MHz
And this ins't anything that you can through at it by a long stretch but it can take almost anything in the 80-100$ range.
Just so you know i'm in the USA.
