Need help picking RAM

[RuniteDragon]

Building a computer and I have just about everything figured out but the RAM

I am seriously clueless on what to get
Here is the build

All feedback is appreciated!

This would be perfect: http://www.microcenter.com/product/382101/Ballistix_Sport_8GB_DDR3-1600_(PC3-12800)_CL9_Dual_Channel_Desktop_Memory_Kit_(Two_4GB_Memory_Modules) - $60

Here's why this (or anything else with similar specs) is what you want: you want a 2 module, 8GB kit so that you take advantage of dual channel on your motherboard, 1600Mhz speed is just fine, 1.5V is safe voltage for Intel core systems, and you want low profile so the RAM modules won't have any issues with your CM Hyper 212 EVO.

I'd spend an extra $5 and go the GSkill Tridents in 2400/10 available at the Egg, Haswell scales very well to DRAM, so entry level 1600 is sort of a waste of a good rig, and don't have to worry about any DRAM with the EVO, the fans are adjustable, I've got 32GB of Tridents sitting under an EVO on my IB, and Ripjaws X sitting under another EVO on my SB build:

True that, for $5 extra it's a good deal, but I don't think you can really call 1600 a "waste of a good rig" as if it's DDR2 speeds or something, when the improvement of 2400 is marginal at best.

And sure, you can scoot the fans up, but it doesn't look as nice

1600 has basically been entry level for Intel K CPUs going back to Sandy Bridge, but people are starting to notice more now when the talk of DDR4 starting at possibly 2133 is starting to heat up, Haswell scales well with DRAM

if any multitasking or most any other apps that use DRAM like imaging, video work, VMs, CAD, etc higher freq is well worth it, can also even add a FPS or two if a gamer, and to be honest, I haven't even had a single person notice the fan is 1/4 inch or so higher
