    The 2x4 Corsair Vengeance kit looks pretty good, though if you are using an aftermarket cpu cooler you may want to get the low profile kit.

    Seconding Corsair LP. They are not really low or good for OC as Samsung Green or Crucial LP (good personal experience with Crucial RAMs for OC) but they are find and can OC better that average no-name. A pair of Corsair LP Blue in a PC build by me are ticking away at 2000Mhz 9-10-9-28 at 1.5V (with a i5-3570k).
