What RAM for z87 build?

Yo,

Need some RAM for my new z87 build. Twinning with 4770K and a UD3H.

Want to know whether or not to go with DDR3 1600 or a higher clock with higher CAS latency. Mainly considered higher frequencies to future proof vs the ever closer impending DDR4. Was originally considering 2133/2400 then saw the latency and wondered if I wanted lower freq. or not.

Please suggest some DIMMs I could go with!

Thanks.

Ideal is 2133 C9 or 2400 c10.

Do you recommend any particular ones? will there be much of a real world performance difference from 1600?

Yeah can you give me some actual DIMMs?

I was just going to go ahead and buy Corsair Vengance 1866 @ 9 10 9, because no one replied and it seems like the goto RAM.

Went for those DIMMs, thanks. Good reviews, high, high speed, for low latency. Similar price too, and I don't need to tweak myself
