Any 1333 MHz. RAM approved for your CPU will work fine.

For 8 GB. you want ONE matched RAM kit consisiting of 2x 4GB. The CAS and frequency on DDR3 RAM makes almost no system performance difference because it is not a bottleneck.

Either of the two RAM Kits above will work fine as long as you have clearance for the top mounted heatsinks on the G.skill RAM.
