Hello, I have a rig I want to build that includes an MSI Gaming 5 Motherboard, MSI GeForce GTX 970, and an i5-4690k.

I was looking at RAM for this, which one would be best?

2400 MHz-

2133 MHz-

Benchmarks have shown that there is ( if at all ) just a 0.2 fps improvement between 800 mhz ram and 2400 mhz ram so go for the cheapest or the ones that look the best for you ( or for your system)
Only the capacities matter in this case
 
I think that Gaming G5 is DDR3 isn't it? if it is, i saw on Ebay/Amazon a couple of DDR3 Corsair vengeance with 2400mhz speed which is really great for DDR3. it's 55$ for 2 cards of 4GB 2x4=8GB
