Or please suggest any other manufacturer at the same budget
Thanks for your help guys!

Only the last link works.

Speed versus timings, this is a no-brainer 2400MHz G.Skill X with a CAS latency of 10 beats the round-up by a fair margin.

Anyway, this is very good for the price: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Get a low latency RAM instead of a fast RAM. 2400MHz doesn't make much difference than 1600MHz, but getting a <9 latency RAM will really help. Watch the timings 10-12-12-31 and search for a RAM where the first number is <9.

Ytyoussef · Aug 2, 2014

A 2400Mhz CL10 RAM, is better than a 1600Mhz CL9, by far. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7364/memory-scaling-on-haswell/10

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

1866MHz, 9 Latency.

FoxVoxDK · Aug 2, 2014

1600MHz/CAS7 = 228 reports per full 1600MHz cycle. 21GB/s bandwidth.
2400MHz/CAS10 = 240 reports per full 2400MHz cycle. 30GB/s bandwidth.

Those G.Skill ram offers better timings(reaction time) and bandwidth than most any other RAM.

Ytyoussef · Aug 2, 2014

The G.Skill is still better than the RAM you listed MeteorsRaining, if you had read the link I posted, you would have known. But he won't notice any real performance difference anyway, so IMO he should definitely go for the Mushkins that I listed above, as they are cheaper.

FoxVoxDK · Aug 2, 2014

Ytyoussef :

Mm, I second this. Unless he has to render or something akin to it.

MeteorsRaining · Aug 2, 2014

Sorry, so many replies in such less time, couldn't get through your link, read it just now, and then FoxVoxDK's simple calculation is also helpful. The number of reports for the RAM i suggested come to a miserly 207...

I guess he should go with G.Skill or Mushkins that you suggested.

Ytyoussef · Aug 2, 2014

MeteorsRaining :

No worries.

So what do you suggest?

Ytyoussef · Aug 2, 2014

I would suggest this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMY16GX3M2A1600C9B-Vengeance-1600Mhz-Performance/dp/B00D2LGRLK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406981371&sr=8-1&keywords=Corsair-CMY16GX3M2A1600C9B
You probably won't make use of the faster RAM, so go with the cheaper one.
If you don't mind taking something else, this is really good for the price: Price breakdown by merchant

1600Mhz or 1866MHz RAM won't really make a difference. That Corsair Vengeance RAM that Ytyoussef suggested is the best in my opinion.
