2x16 or 2x8.

you don't want to use all of your memory slots as dual channel with 2 sticks will get you the best speed.

around 3000-3600 with under 18 cas is fine.

2x8 is enough unless you need more than 16GB (not for a gaming only PC)

 

Frequency and CL depends on budget and whether you'll tune it further yourself.

Frequency is how many "ticks" there are per second, timings (including but not only CAS) is how many ticks each process takes to do. Gaming wise it helps stabilize frame rate, if not improving averages as well.
