If I remember correctly that motherboard is Tri channel correct? Anyways I think the best bet would be to use a 2x8gig kit like http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f31600c9d16gar Cas9 Gskill pretty much just works with everything.

Thanks Linkmykeyboard, yea this motherboard is tri channel.

Yeah 16 gigs would be a really odd amount to upgrade to for tri so I think sticking with that kit that I linked should work just fine. I have kits of gksill from when ddr3 first came out and it still works in pretty much every system I've used it in, I call them my old reliable kit. But you should be gtg with that kit.

Yes @Linkmykeyboard, while researching I did noticed that 16GB seems odd combo... most have 12GB or go for Max 24GB for X58A-UD7.. 12GB will be very low for me and 24GB is some thing I dont think really needed. Thats why looking for 16GB.... Just trying to get as many suggestions, so I don't end up with wrong kit for which I have to mess everyday to get it working.

If you want to be 100% sure just run http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/systemscanner and take a 16 gig kit that they suggest then take that kit over to like pcpartpicker to make sure you get the best deal.
