Here's the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Xn7TvK

What should I be aiming to do? I think 16gb will likely be plenty for this rig. Mostly going to be for gaming, some design work.

Should I just be getting the lowest CAS ram that is at least 2400? Would 2x8 be better than 4x4 or the other way around?
 
Solution
For 16GB with your 5820K go with a 4x4GB to utilize your quad channel potential, I'd look at the GSkill Ripjaws 4 or Trident Z in 2666 or 2800, (might consider 3000, but it can be iffy and often requires a CPU OC (as can 2800, etc - all depends on how strong the CPU's MC is ;)

Maybe a couple of these?:
