Alternative Memory Recommendation

[Altonymous]

All I am having a problem finding the memory in my price range..

Here's my build thread.
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/327079-31-build-gaming-development-dual-boot

At first I was going to go with this...
8GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-17600 2200MHz RipjawsX Series + Cooling fan for Sandy Bridge (9-11-9-28) Dual Channel

However, I'm not sure if the rest of my components merit that? I'd like get 16GB as I run multiple virtual machines when I am doing development.

So I was looking at this...
8GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-17000 2133MHz RipjawsX Series for Intel Z68/P67 (9-11-10-28) Dual Channel kit

But then I realized that it doesn't say "for Sandy Bridge" so that scared me a little which led me to this...
8GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-17000 2133MHz RipjawsX Series + Cooling fan for Sandy Bridge (9-11-9-28) Dual Channel

But again I'd like to get 16GB so do I need to buy two sets and just toss one of the fans?

I plan on overclocking the machine so I want to make sure every component will be able to support it.

Can anyone offer an alternative recommendations?

Yes. I don't recommend premium ram as it often won't run at the tested speed on certain motherboards. I recommend you set the ram speed down before overclocking the cpu instead. This ram is one example of stuff that's on sale, much better bang for the buck: http://shopping.dallasnews.com/ROP/ads.aspx?advid=2519&adid=12031912&subid=36675300&type=.
