Suggest a DDR4 for i5 6600k new build.

Suggest a good 16gb of RAM kit, for a new build. Have not decided on motherboard yet.
And can somebody explain why the price range is so huge with the rams.
Do i want to go with the fastest possible clock rate ?

Im building slowly a next PC for next 5 years so i would pay extra if it's worth.
The idea is to get:
i5 6600k (overclock it)
Motherboard: ...?
RAM: ... ?
GPU: GTX 980 ti

If you're just gaming the cheapest DDR4 will do. I would get 16gb for future proofing.

These will do

Really ? if i get faster RAM is there any performance improvements in games ?

OP, I've just quickly flicked through the following article which compares the gaming performance of different speeds of RAM. Summarily; minimum frame rates in Metro Last Light seem to improve with higher speed ram, but most other games see basically no gains from faster RAM.

Thnx, the difference is so minuscule they practically the same.
