I want to know whether I need 16 gigs or 32 gigs of ram? 64?
Also should I buy the faster ram or just get the standard ddr4?

I'm building a computer with i7 skylake and gtx 980


this is the software they're using at my college course.

16 for sure, I'd prob go 32 GB, most of my clients that are into these programs have 32GB and generally multi-task so the more the merrier, with Skylake I'd look to the GSkill Ripjaws V or their newest, the Trident Z, in at least 2400 or 2666, (I went 32GB of the Tri Z in 3200 for my 6600K/Asus Hero rig.
