Non-ecc ie standard RAM. ECC memory is only for server grade CPUs like Xeons. It tends to be slower and the only benefit is the error correction and checking (ECC), there's no point for it in a consumer computer and therefore it is not compatible.
On what RAM to choose go for a kit that comes from a brand you trust and that has a nice aesthetic. I'd go for at least 12GB and 16oomhz.

Do not use ECC memory in a regular desktop board; it's for servers (generalized). ECC ram is actually slower; regular desktop memory gives you more adjustment options and is less picky about settings.
If you need accuracy, then look for a true server setup. It'll run well on AMD setups (it tends to), but you don't really need to pay the extra costs until you're want absolutely no error in calculations. A good debate:

A regular pair of Trident X 2400MHz will do the job just good, make sure you get 16GB atleast.
