Any DDR3 1600 dual channel kits should work, most motherboards these days don't have compatibility issues anymore. I would recommend Crucial, Kingston, Mushkin, G.Skill, Corsair, etc.

I'm not going to link a specific product, but your motherboard supports a maximum memory speed of 1600. So what I'd be looking for is DDR3 1600 in a 2X4GB kit. Manufacturer is up to you. Kingston, Crucial, G Skill, all make good memory.

I didn't know where you are buying your parts or what they'll have, so these are general guidelines.

Oops that motherboard and CPU are not compatible. You need a motherboard with a series 9X chipset. Some series 8X might work, but since you are buying and don't already have, get a series 9X.
