Hi, guys. I am building my new PC from 0 and stacked on ram module/s i should choose. It is certain, that i will have 2*gtx780 and 3770 or 4770(have not deciced yet), and 2560 monitor. The main purpose is gaming, but i also want my PC be quick at different tasks.... So, how much (8,16 or 32) of ram should i buy and should i pay more for higher speed(like 2400 or so). I also play to use liquid cooling and OC my system. Thanks.

Unless you're manipulating huge data files (not just switching between a game a few browser windows and Teamspeak), 2x4GB 1600Mhz, 9-9-9-24, 1.5V, low profile (if you have a tower air cooler) ram works like a champ.
See this on the minimal impact RAM speed has on framerate.

If sticking with a locked CPU instead of a 'K' model, will prob want to stick with 1600 DRAM, preferably with a CL of 7 or 8 for better performance, the lower the CL the better....Generally sticks running at 1866 require an OC of the CPU and the locked CPUs don't OC, need an Unlocked K. 8 GB is a good starting point unless you are heavily into multi-tasking
