I'm deciding the parts for a new machine I'm building for a friend and can't decide what RAM to get. What model do I get? The Corsair Dominator Platinum set of 32GB DDR4 3000Mhz or the 

G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 3200Mhz 32GB set? Is it worth budgeting for RGB or losing 200Mhz? Help!

Not available on pcComponentes (Spain's biggest tech website), and I'm pretty much trying to get the parts from there so not an option.

Update:

I've found a 413€ kit of Corsair Vengeance RGB Memory of 32GB 3000Mhz. Is that better?

Dom Plats look a lot better than most of the other RAM on the market in my opinion. It's also cheaper by a few dollars than the Vengeance.

Id just go for cheaper 3000mhz is good enough and 200 wont be a noticeable difference unless you really want RGB. personally i dont think its worth $60 for RGB Ram. but if your spending $400-500 on Ram you probably dont have a very small tight budget either.
