Hello, iam thinking to update my whole system and i want to know which you mean is the best way to go with ..., iam thinking to go with this system:

-SYSTEM
MOTHERBOARD: MSI Z170A GAMING M9 ACK
CPU: CPU INTEL CORE I7-6700K 4.00GHZ
RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX RED 16GB (4X4GB) DDR4 3200MHZ QUAD CHANNEL KIT
PSU: CORSAIR AX860I DIGITAL ATX - 860W 80 PLUS PLATINUM CERTIFIED
SSD: SAMSUNG 850 PRO - 250 GB

which is your opinion .. is good way to go with LGA 1151 or LGA 2011-3 ?

LGA 2011-3 is more future proof. But also costs way more because of quad channel DDR4 ram (4 sticks in a kit) and there are no cheap X99 boards. It also needs a beefier PSu to power the OC-able Haswell-E CPUs.

Of course quad channel is better than Dual but as MSI Z170A GAMING M9 ACK MOTHERBOARD has Dual Channel so how would you use quad channel ??

For gaming: LGA 1151 (Dual channel Ram)

For Rendering/ 3D Modelling/ Video Streaming and/or Encoding: LGA 2011-3 (Quad channel Ram)

recently i change my mind and i will buy the MSI Z170A GAMING M7 RETAIL so, better is to buy 2x kits of dual channel rams ? cause i cant bring dual channel kit of 16 gb ram ( 2133 mhz since skylake cpu supports up to 2133 mhz ram )

is this a good kit for the montherboard ? ( Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 Non ECC CL13 2133MHz (CMK16GX4M2A2133C13R) (Kit 2 x 8192) )
