Hi, i have a new Asrock Z77 Extreme11 motherboard and wanted to purchase some high quality RAM to go with it. I have heard that it is good to go with tighter timings over higher frequencies, is this true? I dont use photoshop, i mostly play games and do a little bit of encoding on the side, but primarily games. Which one of these should i get? Here is the list of compatible memory :

I am looking at 16gb to be totally future proof for another few years, but if the 16gb dual channel options are limited and there are some good 8gb kits instead then i am open to sticking with 8gb as well. Price isn't too much of a concern currently.
Thank you in advance!
Edit : Using an i5-3570k CPU which i have overclocked to 4.4ghz
