I would say your best bet would be this Crucial RAM; http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820148276

$5 more than the cheapest 8GB set on newegg, fastest RAM your CPU can handle, and American made.

It's reviews also have fewer bad kits, which is always a nice thing.

I am not sure about where you are but around here AMD RAM is quite cheap and it has lower latency than a lot of other brands before the money difference starts to out-strip the benefits.

Remember it's not just about speed but cas latency and timings.

I was going to say something about the ram linked above, but I see you're using a notebook, so your options are seriously limited.
In the future, if you plan do do a lot of gaming, go for a dedicated desktop rig. Save the notebook for powerpoint presentations and surfing the internet.
