You mean ddr3-2133? And you want 2 sticks of 8Gb ram for total of 16?

Here is a price performance ram with heatspreader and good latency for cheap.

If you are from Europe then get this one.

nah its actually ddr3-2000 its for motherboard gigabyte 970a-ud3p
Memory: 4x DDR3-2000(OC)/ 1866/ 1600/ 1333/ 1066 DIMM Slots would the 2133 just max out at 2000 then?

Solution
it says 2000(oc) since that is the highest officially supported by your motherboard.

dont worry about "official", its very likely your board can run higher anyways.

just get 2133 ram. if your board wont push them that fast it will just downclock them.... at which point you can just tighen up the timings... basically you can downclock the 2133 sticks to run at whatever you want, 2000@cas9.... 1866@cas8 maybe.
