So for a while I've had

on my wishlist.

 

But I found this

recently on Amazon for $200 instead what it lists the standard price at, $640.

 

It still costs more than what I previously wanted, but part of me can't help but be tempted by the $400 in savings.

 

Assuming I have a motherboard compatible with both, which would be the better buy?

it has never been worth $600, just when ddr4 came out it was crazy expensive.

 

 

I would still go for ripjaws.

Well, in all honesty you don't need 32GB. Either of them would be perfectly fine

ram is ram (mostly).

refer to my guide for in-depth explanation, but you'll probably want to go with whatever is cheaper and fits with your motherboard and color scheme

Vengeance is a slightly better because of the speed but it's up to you if you care about such a small difference. Also the colors are way different so if you care about that then consider that as a factor.
