Choosing RAM for 4th generation i5 4670k

[Jaymus]

So I'm upgrading my computer, but it might as well be a new build because the only things I'm not upgrading are my case fans.

Here's a quick list of parts:

(CPU) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130921

The last thing I'm picking out is the RAM. I've got my eyes on some RAM but I know pretty much next to nothing about the finer points. For instance, I'm getting a 4th generation CPU but I only see in the descriptions that there is support for the first, second and third generations. The last link (Trident X) does mention 4th gen in the page's overview though.

I also don't know what timing I should be looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Anything that will save me from having to talk to the cranky as hell IT guy at work. Seriously, he's scary. The kind of scary that makes me fear the elevator doors opening.

Not really helping you here.

On other motherboard sites (Eg ASRock), they provide a WVL list of supported memory. http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X79%20Extreme6/?cat=Memory

I looked, but could not find that on MSI's site. That may help you to narrow down your choices of memory that will work and will not get you into too much strife with tech support should you have to call them.

If OCing the CPU the Tridents would be a good choice, If primarily gaming 1600/1866 is more than sufficient, the Tri's and the Snipers are both good selections for Haswell, and are OCable
