I know in the future ddr4 will be irrelevant, but I want to build my PC now to play with all my friends who have migrated from console completely. I am building a PC that will beat one of my friends PC for bragging rights.
Ram is not my specialty and LTT forums do not seem to have a Ram tier list like the motherboard VRM tier list or PSU tier list. I want 3600mhz speed and CL16 to beat his 3600 CL18. I know for now CL16 will net me a speed advantage, but I know I will have to tighten some timings in the future to maintain a lead or at least remain relevant when ddr5 comes out. I was wondering which kit you all recommend for performance today and performance when overclocked in the future.
These are in no particular order (the numbers are for easy reference) and I do NOT care about exact pricing.
