Hello guys.

After a lot of thought and forum searching, I have decided to upgrade my pc. So next week i'm buying an ASUS X99 Deluxe motherboard, along with an i7-5820k processor.

The only thing i can t decide is which RAM i should buy...I am between these two:

1) http://www.corsair.com/se-fi/vengeance-lpx-16gb-4x4gb-ddr4-dram-2666mhz-c15-memory-kit-black-cmk16gx4m4a2666c15

2) http://www.kingston.com/us/hyperx/memory/predator-ddr4

The price is approximately the same. I know corsair is a better more reliable firm, but the big difference in Mhz makes me lean on the kingston memory.

Please tell me your opinion! Thanks

Kingston makes good RAM too, nothing wrong with them.

The timings are also in favor of the Kingstons, both are CL15 while the Kingstons have higher frequency.

Are they the same/similar price? If so, I'd go with the Kingston Predator. The effective difference is tiny though so if the Corsairs are cheaper I'd just get them.

EDIT: Whoops, you mentioned that they are nearly the same price, my bad. I'd get the Kingstons.
