Memory upgrade question

[schnoodles]

I'm running an older rig, with a Gigabyte P55-USB3 motherboard with a core i5 760 overclocked from 2.8GHz to 3.8Ghz. I'm looking to upgrade from 4GB of RAM to 8GB. The current installed memory is a pair of 2GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 PC3-12800 C9 1600MHz sticks. Any suggestions for what RAM to replace it with please? Needs to be low profile due to the CPU heatsink obstructing the memory slots slightly.

The motherboard supports up to 2200 memory (a strange non-standard speed) so if I were you I'd get either 2133 (and leave it at stock speeds) or 2400 (and underclock it if needed).

e.g.

1 x TeamGroup Vulcan RED 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17100C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLD38G2133HC11ADC01) £69.95

or

1 x TeamGroup Vulcan GOLD 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLYD38G2400HC11CDC01) £65.99
