Hmm... I see, okay, I can get a 3600Mhz CL17 module, or, a 3000Mhz CL 15 module... which one should I go for? Higher frequency or lower CL?

3600C17. Latency is about frequency divided by CL, same latency but higher frequency has higher transfer rate.

Okay... So, call me the prince of indecision, I guess I am deserving this title. 

Very well, enough rambling... So, as I am planning on a new build I often came to this forum to seek for help, as I did a couple of times to get help choosing a CPU, after all the help I got I decided to purchase a Intel CPU, more specifically the I7 9700K... And now I am wondering, how to choose a RAM module for a Intel CPU? I know now that RYZEN benefits from quad channel and high frequencies... What about this chip, what should I look for when picking up a RAM for this CPU?

PS. I accept recommendations.

Same thing as on Ryzen. More memory performance is always good.
