I am building my first gaming PC and can't find anything good for RAM or rather I don't know what to get. (The RAM on there now is just random)My Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3frJJ

i swapped the cpu, ram, and case to cheaper version
with the saved budget, you can get 240GB version of ssd m500

For gaming, 2x4GB is plenty. 2 excellent choices for the money.
1600:
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($64.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $64.99

1866:
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($72.25 @ Newegg)
Total: $72.25

Can't go wrong with either one.
