A little help --- Memory for custom DAW PC

I'm building a PC for the first time (with some help from a guy who knows what he's doing), but I have a simple question.  First......
 
A little background:  I have a simple home studio, basically just using it for my own artistic needs. I'm not saying I won't ever have others come in and record, but I'm basically just building a DAW PC for me. Having said that, I want this machine to scream, and I've been putting together a list of hardware.  I'll have a couple of WD 7200 RPM HDs, along with 16GB of RAM and Intel i7-3770K. I'll be using it mainly for audio production, but also for video editing as well.  It will have either Win 7 Pro or Ultimate (64-bit) --- I haven't decided yet.
So, can someone just throw me a bone here and tell me what Memory hardware you would suggest???  I was looking at the G. Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB.  What compatibility issues should I worry about (if any)?
 
Thanks!

    Go here, enter your motherboard details and take your pick from the results.

    Honestly, wasn't big on Crucial.  Went with G.Skill (so far) -- G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory.  Called Gigabyte to make sure it was compatible.
