Now i'm building a new pc for my 3D Rendering(3Ds Max + Vray) & Gaming. So i'm decided to build a small form factor (which using silverstone raven case)...

This my first time build a high end PC in my life so i not really want to ruined it. So i hope someone to help me.

 

Now i have bought Asus Strix 1070 ti, Intel i7 7700k & Gigabyte H270N-WIFI.

next i'm goind to decided RAM, at the shop there was 2 choice.

Which:

- Corsair Vengeance 2x8gb 2666mhz = 16gb

- G.Skill Ripjaws V 1x16gb 3200mhz = 16gb

 

Because i haven't use this 2 brand & never see "G.Skill" brand before.

1x16 is 16gb not 32gb, unless somethings wrong which what you wrote..

 

G.SKill is well known and reputable, for overclocking in particular. It is a good brand and it produces high quality memories, so you can go with them.

 

What you really should check is if you are actually going to push that much memory. If you are at 12gb or less, I would stick to a 16gb configuration otherwise, go with a 32gb.

 

The higher the speed, the better. Brand doesn't count much on a intel platform.

Corsair and G.Skill are both reputable brands.

I've used Corsair memory since the early 2000's (DDR1, DDR2, and some DDR3), but all my memory kits from 2010/2011 onwards (both DDR3 and DDR4) have been G.Skill.

 

If the price is nearly identical, I'd go with the memory kit with the higher frequency, lower timings, and lower voltage.
