So I'm looking at which RAM to get with my next upgrade (10700k)

 

Looking around I'm seeing:

Team Group Xtreem " Edition" 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-33000C18 4133MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black at £128.99
Team Group Edition 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black at £119.99
Crucial Ballistix BL2K8G32C16U4W 3200 MHz, DDR4, DRAM, Desktop Gaming Memory Kit, 16GB (8GB x2), CL16, White - £75.99

 

All above is 16gb but then Cruicial has 32gb for £150 just £20 more than the first.

Crucial Ballistix BL2K16G32C16U4W 3200 MHz, DDR4, DRAM, Desktop Gaming Memory Kit, 32GB (16GB x2), CL16, White - £150

So in terms of performance and bang for buck, which do you guys think would be better?

*Oh forgot to mention that this is for gaming.

Thanks guys! I was inclined to go with the 32gb too, applications feel a little greedy nowadays. Web browsers seem to use more and then there's software like iCue for my mouse and RGB control... yea I think you're right Sophia. Thanks again.

You need 32GB for Led software and web browsing?? 

Nah, if you was streaming maybe.

 

Performance doesnt come from additional amount of memory though. Just a heads up there.

So do you think I should go for the fastest? Is 3200mhz at 14CL worth the extra £45 over the 3200mhz at 16CL?

No I wouldn't buy memory that slow for an Intel setup. Minimum speed 3600mhz. 

 

I liked the first set of memory you inquired about from the list you gave actually.

Thanks for your help, decided to go with the faster one. I guess I can always upgrade in the future if needed :)
