Default RAM ADVICE NEEDED FOR GA-X58A-UD3R with i7960 Help!

I would like to know which Ram is best for my PC configuration. Right now I am running everything smooth PT 10.2 HD Native with some OCZ OCZ3G16002G 2GB DIMM DDR3 PC3-8500U running at DDR3-1066 (7-7-7-16 4-26-8-4) but I only have 4x2GB, 8GB RAM in total and I would like to have more disk cache. So I would like to have 12 or 24 GB of RAM in total and my RAM provider has only this models that I believe should be compatible with my Setup. Which one of these you guys would recommend?:

CML8GX3M2A1600C9
CML16GX3M4A1600C9
CML16GX3M4X1600C8
CML16GX3M4X1600C7
CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9
KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX
KHX1600C9D3K3/12GX
KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX
KHX1600C9D3P1K2/8G
F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2

Do you guys know if any of these would be good for my PC config? Or do you guys know any other that should work for me?

Thanks

Hey Franco, your system is pretty much identical as mine and recently I upgraded my RAM to Kingston KVR1333D3N9K3/12G x 2 and runs very well. Just make sure the speed in the BIOS is 1333.
