4 to 8GB of Corsair or GSkill DDR3 1600 cas 8 or 9 would work well with that CPU and just about any motherboard that supports it.

What games do you play?
I've noticed recently that games like COD Black Ops and SC2 use 3GB's of RAM just for them.You might want to consider 8GB.

What is your budget?

what 8gb will cost ? planning for that much but it should be the cheapest one ....

You don't need 8gb, 4gb is more than enough for gaming.

8Gb is roughly $100 US while 4Gb is roughly $50 US. A little more or a little less depending on Brands and Cas latency.

RAM is cheap now and depending on the Game >4GB gives a boost; nice article -> http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ram-memory-upgrade,2778-8.html
