What Ram should i choose?
Hi guys.
I am building this pc:
i5 8600k, ASUS Prime Z370-A, EVGA SuperNOVA 550w G2, 80+ GOLD, ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Dual-fan OC, and 16gb ram ddr4. With a 1tb hard drive no SSD.
And i have this two options for ram:
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2x8GB DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz
PNY - Anarchy (2x8GB) 16GB PC4-25600 3200MHZ DDR4
What is better?
Thanks.
If prices match, opt for faster RAM. If not and the 3200MHz is expensive compared to an SSD, choose slower RAM and get the SSD instead. RAM speed has little impact on Intel, except for certain games like ROTTR.

Hi, thanks for the advice.
Do you have any other better RAM options? Or should I pick the PNY at 3200mhz?
There isn't much distinction between RAM except for warranty.
Just my take is, if a lower-speed RAM is cheaper than a higher-speed one and you don’t see a big difference, consider getting an SSD instead.
If the gap isn’t significant, opt for faster RAM so you can upgrade later when you buy a new PC or something similar.
