What RAM is required?

[CHKR]

I'm going to build a rig soon, and for now i'm planning on getting DDR4-3000 ram because its rather cheap on the site, but if i buy it in my local store it might be more expensive, so should I change it to DDR4-2666 or less? Used for some gaming and school work, can you also quickly explain what mhz affects?

It won't matter at all, just get the cheaper.

Go for the most common Ram that way if need to get more.

You can get it any where  if it 3000 mhz or 2666 mhz it does not matter

Mhz affects how fast data can be written to the ram. So when getting a higher mhz just increces the speed data can be written and read to the ram. The difference is unnoticeable unless you are dealing with a gpu. The only way you will notice a difference is if you are for example video or audio editing. Other than that the speed difference is almost unnoticible

Buy whatever is cheapest, 2400 should be fine as well.
