What RAM do you recommend?

I am Building a Gaming computer and cannot see to find the right RAM.
My build consists of-
i5-4690K processor
MSI G45 Z97 motherboard
Corsair 200R case
Corsair 750Watt Power supply
EVGA 640 Graphics card( I will be upgrading to 760)
I also will be overclocking sometime in the future. and need thoughts of what RAM would work best with my setup.

There are a ton of options, here are some guidelines
- Use 1.5v RAM
- 8GB is enough for most people
- Lots of good brands, i usually stick with Corsair / GSkill / Kingston / Mushkin / Patriot.

socialassassin. how many MHZ should I get? and usually the RAM DDR3 I was looking at was at 1.65V, is that to much? gaming is all im doing with this PC, other forums say get 2400mhz for gaming as it loads faster and others are saying 1866 is fine. thoughts?

Haswell CPUs are rated to use 1.5V RAM, so I'd stick with that.
I dont think there would be a noticable difference between 1866 and 2400MHz. Just go with 1600 or 1866, unless you find a good price on 2133 / 2400
