Corsair Or Trident Z

Hey guys about to purchase some ram for my new rig and just saw a deal on the "Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 16GB 3000 MHz"  for about 1999 (SEK) and the "G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 16GB 3200 MHz" (2281 SEK) Question is do i need 3200? Some people are telling me yes for the future  some people are telling me no etc and just need some information.

 

My build : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bf8bTB

 

Also in the future if i did want to add 32GB would it fit fine with the x62?

 

Thanks guys

200mhz is a small difference. Choose the ram that looks the best for you.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

Someone was saying to me that 3000 MHz CL 15 or 3200 MHz CL 16 are the sweet spot, however its the first time ive seen this cl15/16 stuff and its confusing me

They are pretty much equal, so get the cheaper option.
Not like you need super fast RAM tho.

CL is how many cycles it takes for the ram to respond to an command. The lower the better, but the more mhz the ram has, the higher the cl number will be, as each cycle takes less time, so 2133mhz cl12 isnt better than 3000mhz CL15.

 

So lets compare 3000 MHz CL 15 and 3200 MHz CL 16

The 3000mhz cl15 ram takes 0.005 ms to respond, while

3200mhz cl16 also takes 0.005ms to respond, because while it is 200mhz faster, it takes 1 more cycle to respond.

So it doesnt matter which one you choose.
