Buying memory, need advice on what to get

[sillysoft]

Well just found out why my memory hasn't been shipped yet, it wasn't even in stock on the site I ordered it from said it was in stock and never received a message for the delay. So I canceled my order and now looking to order memory again from a different site, preferably from Amazon this time. Anyway before I buy I am asking for suggestions, here is my current build:

PSU: XFX ProSeries Core Edition P1550SXXB9 550W 80Plus Bronze
CPU: Xeon Quad-Core Processor E3-1230V2 3.3GHz 5.0GT/s 8MB LGA 1155
Motherboard: ASRock LGA1155/Intel Z75/DDR3 Motherboard Z75 PRO3

I would like to get 16GB of memory, can you recommend high end memory to get that will work best for heavy duty tasks such as gaming and heavy app development? I was thinking of getting 32GB but this might be overkill?

32 GB won't work if your only using Windows 7 Home. Just FYI the limit for the OS is 16 GB.

Check your mother boards CVL list. It's a list of all of the memory that is tested and proven to work with that board.

You want 1.5v 1600 mhz. A higher mhz won't do any good.

Heres the memory support list for your mobo.

Also, For gaming there's no real advantage to more then 8GB.
As far as brands my personal preference i'd stick to Corsair, Gskill, or Crucial.

Yeah this was the memory I originally ordered:

G.SKILL F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL Ripjaws X 16GB 2X8GB Kits 240PIN DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

I guess I will just re-order it but from a more reliable online store.
