I just found out you can overclock ram, I always though you had to get higher hrz ram for better performance. 

Now I have 2 options and not 1, so which should I go for? 

Corsair Vengeance Pro ddr4 2400mhz Cl15 16gbrgb 

G. Skill Trident Z ddr4 2400mhz  Cl15 16gb rgb

Both priced same, I'm using a corsair psu aomeone said I can use corsair link if I get the corsair ram. 

What does the link do anyways?

I'd pick the gskill because it's RGB. They both have the same performance. How much is the Gskill and the Corsair? If the Corsair one is more expensive then I'd go for the GSkill. If you want to go with Corsair then it's fine, or you can just go for some LED Rgb strips instead of RGB RAM.

Both are priced same and both have rgb, is corsair link important?

Corsair link is good for controlling your software, It's important for editing your RGB software from your RAM, Fans or CPU Cooler.

Also monitoring the performance and temperature from RAM, Fans, CPU Cooler, and PSU.

So my light loops are covered too?
