What 32gb ram kit will be compatible with the i7 6800k, Sabertooh X99, and the Be Quiet Dark Rock cooler?
I really want to make sure I buy the right spec and fit because it's my first build.

Thank you

From your Motherboard Specs: 8 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 2400/2133

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($163.27 @ Amazon)
Total: $163.27

G.Skill Ripjaws V are fantastic RAM modules and would work perfectly with your setup. You would especially benefit from a pack of 4 8GB modules because your motherboard can make use of 4-way (quad) in-line memory.

Overclocking the ram or the cpu? I do plan overclocking the cpu.

If you're going to overclock your CPU, then you'll definitely need a higher RAM speed spec. If I'm not mistaken, the i7-6800k needs a minimum of DDR4-2133, so you want to go beyond that, at least to DDR4-2400 so that you have the overclocking room.

Is the reason to go higher (or not to go higher) than 2400 on the ram speed? DDR4 2400/2133 is what I'm seeing for the chip and the mobo compatibility. Could I use 3000 or higher?
