RAM for motherboard.

For Xmas I am updating my rig, getting a 4670k and a gigabyte g1.Sniper z87. As for Ram I want something to match the mobo:

What RAM would be the best? My guess is the 2133Mhz.

Heard Haswell likes fast RAM?

Correct, get the 2133.

Why stop at 2133 when the board can handle more?

Thanks guys, and that would be the budget constraint.

There are several 2400mhz 2x4GB sets which are cheaper :confused:

edit: There is even one at 2666 for less...

ram freq. means nothing, timing is more important.
