Well what are you doing with the computer? if you are rendering large images or videos, you might consider at 16 or 32GB.
if you just plan on gaming any old 2 x 4GB sticks of 1600Mhz / CAS 9-9-9-24 /1.5v RAM should be fine. Corsair, G.skill, and Kingston and Samsung all make good RAM, even the A-data's on sale is a great deal.

edit: good point, the motherboard doesnt support ECC (removed from my post), thanks sniperGod for pointing that out

ECC RAM would require a different motherboard

not ecc, overclockable - oc
but higher than 1600mhz

if you are just gaming, the returns past 1600 Mhz at CAS 8 or 9 are pretty diminished anyhow.

its ment to be for blender and adobe stuff... modeling, animation...
build should look like:
maximus VII ranger
xeon E3-1245 v3
quadro 1gb
850w psu
ddr something?

open to suggestions too :D 
but think xeon supports 1600... how that matters?
sry for noobines :)

yes as a 3D modeler, you will greatly benefit from 2 x 8GB, so you can eventually get 32GB when 16GB is holding you back. i think you want DDR3 RAM, 1600 Mhz should be fine but 1866 cant hurt either. the difference for your applications is not huge, the CPU + GPU will contribute to rendering time and the RAM dictates the file sizes you can work on more so.

so if i understand right, speed of ddr wont have practical impact on workflow and rendering coz it goes thru gpu and cpu?
what is the point then in dunno 3000+mhz ddr? just marketing? or almost none improvements?

You'll only notice the difference in benchmarks . 1866mhz CAS 9 No more necessary. For RAM and rendering its more about amount than speed .
