Default DDR3 RAM Recommendation

I have recently tried some OCZ Gold series DDR3 1600, but unfortunately it was horrible. I had to RMA it since it wouldn't run at rated speed stably. It only ran at 1066Mhz stably and when I got the new set from OCZ, it only ran at 1333Mhz stably so I had enough of it and would like to get some better ram. I don't plan on RMA since the shipping cost would get me a new set of ram. So any suggestion for some DDR3 1600 ram for gaming? My spec is as shown under. I want at least 2GB.

Here is Gigabyte's (current) support list for DDR3 1600 on your board. Personally, I like G.Skill, but that's just me.

Gigabyte also indicates that any speed faster than DDR3 1600 will down clock automatically to 1666, however you could just OC a set of supported 1600.
