Check the Asus site for your board. Some ram will work while other models won't. The website has the newest list of ram that works.

I would go with 1600mhz.

USE 2 - 4GB Modules so that it runs in DUAL channel mode.

i have one on the list that i found in the site but i also wanted to know if a single 8g ram stick would work since it is not listed in the QVL, is it possible to go for single 8g ram?

You want it to run in Dual channel mode , so you buy 2 - 4gb modules , the QVL list is never complete or updated in a timely fashion.

If it is the same model other than the 2, 4, 8, 16 etc, then it should work. As SR 71 mentioned though, going with 2 sticks is better than 1 higher GB stick.

thank you for the info sir.. i was hesitant to buy the ram so i left it as last piece of my rig.. there are a lot of rams to choose but im just not to sure which one is right.

I listed some Sniper that is a great deal above and compatible.

my plan was to buy single 8g stick then another one once i have money for it but the singe 8g are not listed in the QVL..

A single stick of 8 gb will be fine but get 1600mhz.

Your welcome.

FX CPU and ASUS 990FX can handle DDR3-1866 just fine. The memory you originally picked is perfect.
