Hey there, first off- good board.

The 2 types of RAM you have given will be both be supported and will run very well. I would go with the first link you have provided as the frequency wont be capped by the FSB of the board which is 1866mhz on the ram.

The second link has a frequency of 2133MHZ and will be capped (won't get the full potential and speed from the mobo.

I'd go with the first link or find RAM with a frequency of 1866mhz

Happy upgrading
