I'm thinking of building a new system with the Asus Rampage IV Extreme and an Intel Core i7-4930K cpu. I tried to do some research on a 32 gig RAM kit that would be compatible and stable and it was really hard to find anything on the manufacturers websites. I did some searching on here and saw a few recommendations but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to get a 4 x 8GB kit so I could potentially upgrade in the future if I wanted to. The machine will mainly be used for Adobe programs, 3D programs, and some gaming. I was looking at these on Newegg.

Corsair:

Any recommendations on what might be the most compatible & stable?

The GSkill Tridents, great set and great with the Extreme, have been my favorites for over a year now (the Trident line) have this exact set in my Z77 build

Hi,
Most all RAM that is current, modern, and not extremely cheap will be perfectly fine with your motherboard. I recommend, at that level, at least 1866 MHz (if only just to add to bragging rights), and, as you said, something around 32GB.
Depending on your style, you can go with showy Corsair Dominator RAM and G.Skill Sniper, or something more low-profile from any of the companies.

That's exactly the advice I was looking for. Do you also have the Intel Core i7-4930K? If so what are you using to keep it cool? I don't really plan on any overclocking and would rather not do liquid cooling again. I went that route with my last build and found myself buying fluid every couple weeks which was just a hassle.

Not with the 4930K, but have a few builds on the Extreme, rather than going liquid might look at the V8 GTS from Cooler Master, I picked one up when they were released for my 4770K, little expensive for air, better than the Hyper 212 and Noctua's, does a good job....cheaper than equivalent liquid
