Quick ram question

[Zog789]

I'm currently looking to build a monster of a PC with the help of my friend. My question is what would give me more performance 64 gigs of ddr4 3600 or 128 gigs of ddr4 3200. Also how much of a difference would there be planning on using this for streaming and rendering. These are the sets of ram I am deciding between if that makes a difference http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232297 (2 sets) /  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232340 . Please try to keep answers detailed but easy to understand as i am still slightly new to PC building. Thanks for the help.

You will probably never ever use 128gb (I think you meant 128gb. not 132gb.) But 3200 is still pretty fast, and if you can get the 128gb. kit then you might as well get it

The speed won't make a noticeable difference with that much of a capacity difference, so unless the price or latency is ungodly then the larger amount if the mobo supports it. Even though rendering is one of the things that you may ever notice speed and latency taking effect, that minor speed bump will hail in comparison to the doubled volume, if you ever use it.

Speed doesn't matter for ram as it barely impact performance (you might get a couple more points in cinebench tho). I would rather you get the 2 sets of the 64 GB to take advantage of the quad channel memory. But Linus did a video on how memory affect work loads and after 64gb for the most part have diminishing returns.

128gb speed doesn't matter

Choose ram based one these criteria. Compatibility, asthetics, reliability of brand, capacity, frequency, and timings. Of course this is most to least important. You won't use more than 32GB as you're not running virtual machines. You don't need higher frequencies or tight timings because again, not running virtual machines. If you like numbers, you can overclock memory later. I cheaped out on 16GB ddr4 2133 and overclocked it to 3000 afterwards. I won't get into details but the performance gains are like 2% with that leap... So save money, get only what you need.
