Here's the rest of my build:

Gigabyte 990XA-UD3 AMD 990X
AMD Piledriver FX-8350 Black Edition 4.00GHz
MSI HD 7970 3072MB

I need some RAM to pick, but I know nothing about ram. NOTHING. I can kind of guess that higher clock speeds are better, but why? What are ram timings and why should I care (I do plan to be overclocking the Piledriver)? - And finally, what's good ram these days?

My budget isn't too important, but I don't need more than 8gb of ram so a 2x4 kit is fine.
