Go to a ram web site and find their ram selection app.
Enter your motherboard and you will get a list of compatible ram kits.

Buy a 2 stick kit so you will get dual channel operation.
The 2500K does not benefit from fast ram. 1333 is ok, 1600 would be usual.
You probably want a 8gb kit of 2 x 4gb assuming your os is 64 bit capable.
