I plan on upgrading and overclocking my cpu and motherboard for my gaming system in the next couple days. I would like some opinions on which memory to get for my board. I plan to have this system last me at least 2 to 3 years before doing another upgrade to my cpu and motherboard.
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K

(This one is $5 less then the 2500K with the promo code at the moment)
GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard (This board can hold up to 32 memory(4-8 Gig Sticks )
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128544
(I looked at the UD5H but I do not see myself making use of the extras on it)
I know I need at least 8 gigs of memory. I think 2 of the 4 Gig Sticks will do just fine (I do not think 1-8 Gig or 4-2 Gig sticks would be much difference).
Thinking about the future it might be better to pick up more memory now instead of later down the road. Do you think it would be wise to get 16 Gigs now ( 2-8 Gig Sticks or 4-4 Gig Sticks )
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, preferably from newegg to keep my order together unless the deal is too good to pass up.
P.S. I did some overclocking with water cooling back on the single cores, but avoided it on the duel and quads. This will be my first OC with the multi cores. I plan to just do a moderate OC on air with my Hyper 212+. If some thinks I need a better heatsink for Air Cooling you can toss that out there too, thanks again.
