What memory should I use in my Asus m5a99x pro v2? It has a AMD Phenom 11 905e chip

I'm putting new board together and later will upgrade to 8370 FX. What memory and brand should I use if I want 8 gigs and 16 gigs at 1600? At 1866?

Hi,

Please do refer to this link so you can get the complete specification on what RAM you can use with your motherboard.

You can use 1866 MHz RAM but it will default to 1333 when used with non FX chip. should be able to go up to 1600 MHz by manual settings. 8GB is enough but 16 would be better.
