I?m no expert, but my understanding you can, your board support 4 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16 GB of system memory with an OS 64 bit. So I assuming for example you can have two set of identical g-skill 2x2 4gb and your board should show 8gb, but I strongly suggest you contact G-skill tech support and see what they recommend.
Cheers.

Hi,
On an AMD platform, the lower the timings, the better. For example, 1333 CL7 is better than 1600 CL9.
If you like the blue ripjaws, then grab the 2x2GB F3-12800CL7D-4BRM. You can always have 2 sets so that you have 8GB in the future.
If you don't mind the color, then go for the F3-12800CL7D-8GBRH which have black heatsinks. This will give you 8GB right away and room for 16GB in the future. And the price is the same as 2 sets of the blue ripjaws.

Whether you go with the DDR3 1600 or DDR3 1333 will depend a little bit on what processor you plan on getting and how much fiddling you want to do in the BIOS.
For a simple plug and play follow mrcmtl' advice and go with the low latency DDR3 1333 kit.MSI Big Bang xPower x58
