Hello, 

I am currently building a PC and the items I currently have are: 

  • MSI Z270 Gaming M3 MBU
  • i5 7600k CPU
  • MSI nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 X 6GB 192Bit GPU
  • Corsair CS650M PSU

I am in need of RAM now. I was thinking of choosing between HyperX Fury 4x4GB 2133MHz CL14, 4x4GB 2400MHz CL15 or Corsair Vengeance 4x4GB 3000MHz CL15. Should I go for 2x8GB instead? Which one would benefit my system the most? 

I mostly play games and wanna start getting into Game Development step-by-step, but this system will be aimed mostly towards playing games.

Thank you in advance :)

you should go 2x8 and since you're on an intel CPU the speed doesn't matter and CL won't affect your performance more than 3%

 

the power supply is a bit overkill

Well any ddr4 2133 MHz  module 16gb or under will work , all depends on how much money you want to waste on it. I've found that cheap memory performs the same as expensive memory (obviously it would seeing as they all have the same specs minus the pointless heat spreaders) lol
