Recommended Memory for M5A99X + FX 8350

[Ofesad]

Hi everyone!

Im Ofesad from argentina.
Im upgrading my pc, so I already bought a AMD FX8350 + Asus M5A99X EVO R 2.0 motherboard.

The question I have is:
I wanna put 16gb of ram. (2x8gb).
Running at 1600mhz stable.
I see that there's too much information over the internet, but, also, many problems with configuration.
So, what memory kits would you recommend?

Sadly, here, in Argentina, I dont have a lot of options (Kingston, G.Skilll, Corsair, mostly). In fact, finding a 2x8gb kit it's quite difficult.

I was browsing and a local store has the CMY16GX3M2A1866C9 and CMY16GX3M2A1600C9 for almost the same price.
Other store has the CMZ16GX3M2A1866C9 (more expensive... i dont know why).
Other has the Gskill Sniper F3-1866C9D-16GSR
Finally other has Gskill Trident F3-2400C10D-16GTX... and the price is reaaaally good in comparison with any of the others. I know, there are rated at 2400mhz, but if I can just run them at 1600 or 1866, I'll be happy.

What would be your first option? Why?

Personally, I have been overclocking other pcs over time, but this time I would like to not deal with all the problems and issues related with the stability and running tests.

I mean, if you say that some other sticks would work even better or have a better "compatibility" with the mb/processor to get (at least) 1600mhz, I will try to get those memory kits.

Also if there's anyone who has the same gear and what has been your experience with it!

Thank you for reading, Ill be expecting your comments and ideas.

Ps: sorry for my bad english

2x8GB TridentX DDR3-1600CL7 would be ideal, but if you can't find any...

Go with the Gskill Trident F3-2400C10D-16GTX in the local store. More than likely you can run them at 1600CL7. I'm almost certain they use the same Samsung ICs anyway.
