if you still wish to spend more money, do 2x670 SLI set up and bump the PSU to 850watt.

pesonally i got corsair dominator platinum 2x8gb, but it was really expensive, i got it for about 130$ w/ free shipping though cuz futureshop F****ed up so they gave me an extra discount



a lot of people like g.skill as well but last time i looked 2x8gb i found only blue ones which looked weird
