CORSAIR DDR4 VENGEANCE LPX RAM

This particular batch of DDR4 memory comes as two 8GB sticks allowing you to access a high density whilst only requiring two DIMM slots - this allows the set to fit into a wider array of motherboards. An ideal buy for your gaming rig set-up that comes at a reasonable price. Purchasing this 16GB allows your computer to have that extra breathing room for multi-tasking whilst gaming, or for extra storage for your media devices. Breaking the 3k barrier this memory pushes DDR4 into its top-end bracket. Along with general performance perks a higher MHz speed can also improve your FPS when gaming. Speeds such as this are targeted toward those who like to get every last drop of frequency performance out of their memory.

Yes, definitely the Crucial Ballistix Sport. I think there's an led version out now if that's your thing, although looking at your original suggestions it's probably not.
