For that board, I'd probably settle for a Kingston HyperX black/red 2133/2400MHz. Above that it's silly prices.

Avexir Core if I wanted lights, and Avexir Blitz if I wanted even nicer lights and had money to throw away. At least those throw some lighting in along with the higher cost. Corsair Dominator price is crazy, although they do look ace and come with customizable lighting.

Go with whichever grabs you more. The difference in performance will be minimal. Those with higher frequencies combined with tighter timings will have the slight edge in benchmarks. Real world usage will hardly notice it.

I'm assuming it's primarily a gaming rig? 8GB would be fine if so. 16GB is better for photo/video rendering.
 
Thanks Danny and yes gaming and the odd video conversion.
I do like the dominator and the lighting kits are good although i would have preferred a red light bar instead of blue.
I will probably go with 2133mhz at Cas 10 or tighter is possible.
