RAM for new build. Require advice. What to get?

[hiyoal]

Hey guys,

At the moment I have a parts list pretty much set but Im finding it hard to find RAM that is compatible with my MOBO.

SSD - OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD SATA3 2.5"

CPU - i5-2500K

PSU - Corsair AX-850 850W

CASE - NZXT Phantom

MOBO - Gigabyte Z68XP-UD4

GPU - 1280M GTX570 Gigabyte x2

CPU Cooler - Corsair H80 Liquid CPU Cooler

This computer's purpose is to be a high end gaming machine where I would not be overclocking the PC for benchmark results and will only be overclocking to get the best gaming experience.

What is some RAM that would suit my needs? I would want it to be 8GB at least and do not have a budget for suggestions.
I will sort out prices when I/If I have a range of selection from you pros!

I appreciate any advice you guys can give me, If I didnt clarify something in this post please let me know and ill update/explain more

Cheers,
Hiyoal

Here you have listed all memory sticks 2x4gb 1600Mhz : http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007611%20600006069%20600000261%20600006127&IsNodeId=1&name=DDR3%201600%20%28PC3%2012800%29&ShowDeactivatedMark=False
Read the reviews and decide. Ill recomand Corsair.

generally corsair is the best... although kingston is nice as well if you want to budget. Buying RAM is pretty difficult since there are a lot of specs involved although generally if you go with a good company, you will get RAM with good performance.

8GB of 1600MHz is the sweet spot for most set-ups..
Kits from Corsair,Gskill,and Kingston are very good.
The height of the ram will be a non-factor since you've chosen the H80.
Vengeance kits in regular and LP(low profile) = identical performance wise

Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8R 80$ for 8GB
It's even what Tomshardware recommends, I have build a few systems with it now, really good stuff, good heat dissipation and good OC.
