While it's still in the dumps, might be worth moving to 16GB of DDR3-1600 for ~$70-$80. Prices are starting to slowly rise again at this point, so it won't be super cheap for long.
Not sure if you think you'll need it in the long run or not, but for me it was a no brainer.
Crusader for the 64-bit Era.
New Rule: 2GB per core, minimum.
Support for DDR3 1666(OC)/1333/1066 MHz memory modules
I'm not sure how 1666(OC) works or what that means.
EDIT: So my guess is that system can take 1600 and will just downgrade anything higher to 1666. I currently have 2 sticks of 2GB. I could grab 2 sticks of 4GB for a total of 12GB. However, I can't seem to find the max limit per memory slot. I'm assuming the max 4gb since there are 4 slots and the MB can handle a max of 16GB.

If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

Yes 4GB max per slot of ram.
