I can't seem to get the memory right for my update build (have changed my mind many times).
What I want is;
16gig DDR3 2x8 gig OR 4x4gig.
I want to purchase from HERE.
Budget $200 to $300 AUD
Can I use 2400 or 2133mhz?
Do not want to manual overclock (mess with Voltages Etc.)
Want to use XMP.
I am completely lost in determining what to use.
Of course I want the fastest possible within my budget.
Thank you in advance
EDIT
Looking at Gskill 2x8g 2400 will it run on my build?

Brian check out this site the fellow running it is an absolute whiz with G Skill stuff at least and I am not slighting the others as we have some top class advisors here but I got onto to this bloke "Tradesman" when I was doing my Ivy Bridge and he was brilliant.

Kodi I have these and am clocking them at 2400 and they are just the ducks innards G.Skill Ripjaws Z F3-2400C10D-8GZH 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 [GS-F3-2400C10D-8GZH] - $119.00 : PC Case Gear - 2x4GB cheaper too and I think you will find the ones you have picked are very tall and may interfere with whatever air cooler you have if you are going down that track. I know because I have some spares here that my son used in onre of his builds and it was a problem.

Motherboard arrives Friday.
Using a Noctua NH-C12P cooler, have to send away for the free adapter from Noctua and it will take up to two weeks.
Will have time to measure and check what ram will fit.

Have thought about Water cooling but I already have the Noctua which worked very well will my QX6850 so I will try it with the i7-4770k and if it is not enough I will go with Water Cooling.

Kodi if you are running stock and not overclocking the Noctua will be fine but overclocking i suggest liquid but still could get a reasonable clock with that too but nothing outrageous
