I am building a gaming rig and need advise on selecting best ram....(I am a noob)

My rig
Maximus V formula mobo
Intel core i7 3770k
2tb WD BLACK
250 gb ssd
And asus gtx 670...
I have bought everything except ram cause I am a bit confused about compatibility..
My dad have bought me kingston value ram KVR16N11/8 but I am considering to replace it with single 8gb module of corsair vengeance ram.

http://www.corsair.com/en/memory-by-product-family/vengeance/vengeance-8gb-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m1a1600c10.html

I just want to confirm that whether single 8gb module of vengeance will be compatible with V Formula or should I stick with kingston value ram..
Any help would be appreciated....
 
Your motherboard use Dual Channel Memory Architecture . So best to use two 4GB or 8GB memory modules.
1.5V is good for intel CPU but you have a good motherboard so 1.65V memory maybe works fine too.
If you want to overclock the memory and CPU to it's limits.
What CPU COOLER do you have? Make sure your cooler is fine with memory.
 
Plug in your parts on PC part picker, it will check compatibility for you (its what I did)
Hope it helps.

I don't actually know about which RAM brands are better cause im a noob.
