Is the MSI P67A-GD65 automatic overclock good enough? And HyperX quad-kit 1600 8 GB VS. HyperX Genesis dual-kit 1600 8 GB VS. Corsair Vengeance dual-kit 1600 8GB or any other 8GB RAM suggestions in terms of OC capability and performance?

I have the GD65 - the OC Genie is supposed to work, but you should overclock manually for a better result. It's not that difficult.

As for the RAM I would recommend you get 1.5v RAM, get a dual kit (2 x 4Gb DIMMS), the Corsair Vengeance is good RAM, but the DIMMS are massive due to the large coolers they have on them, just make sure your CPU cooler will fit properly.
