I'd go 16GB in 2x8GB minimum, I like your thoughts towards 32 GB for longevity. With your CPU think I'd look to 2133/2400, first thought would be the Snipers in 2400/11

If that doesn't fit with color scheme or budget let me know

What CPU and what will you be doing with the rig? Also if a K model CPU are you planning to OC it?
Oh sorry for not saying that before..
as CPU I chose Intel i7 4790k and I think ill oc it (im not sure about that) and the main purpose of my rig is everything, gaming, video editing, 3d animating, I use photoshop and illustrator alot..
I want enough RAM so it will serve me many years..
What do you think?

Just from curiosity, why should I go with 2x8GB and not 4x4GB or 1x16GB dimms?
and how do I know what RAM speed is the best for my CPU?

2x8GB is less stress on the MC and can run ever so slightly faster, 16GB DIMMs generally not available (except in ECCC) and then would be in single channel which can be a 10% or better performance hit from dual channel
