Need help picking 'low-profile' RAM!

Here's my build for a DIY router using pfSense:

CASE: Apex DM-317-A
CASE FANS: Noctua NF-R8-1800
CPU: Intel core i3-4160
CPU COOLER: Noctua NH-L9x65
MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H-A
SSD: Either Intel series 530 or 535 (whichever I can find new and cheap) 2.5" SSD; 120MB
SSD MOUNTING BRACKET: Sabrent BK-HDDF HDD Mounting Bracket
NIC: Intel EXPI9402PT
NIC LOW-PROFILE BRACKET: Intel EIG42ET
DVD-ROM: Asus DVD-E818AAT/BLK/B/GE
PSU: Corsair SF Series SF450

Need help with the RAM. I require two 4GB modules of 'low-profile' RAM. If at all possible, either G.SKILL or Crucial...if neither makes low-profile, then the best and most reliable possible. Thanks!
 
At 20mm height it's the best DDR3 I've found for tight itx builds.

Agreed. As an alternative Crucial does make the Ballistix Tactical LP, with better timings (8-8-8-24 vs. 9-9-9-24@1600MHz), but I have heard mixed reports of their reliability. They are also a bit taller.
