Hi,

I've bought a MSI X99 mobo, it CAN handle speeds up to 3000 MHz.

Im going to use it for gaming at 4K and a little OC (I'm not a die hard oc'er).

Now I have to choose New DDR4 RAM. What speed would suit best? Standard 2133 or maybe 2666 or more? I am going to overclock te CPU a little and the GPU a little. Didnt do much with RAM OC yet and dont know if I am going to...
 
Solution
I'd stick w/ 2400-2666 unless you come across a really good deal on 2800 or up, the 2400/2666 should provide plenty of bandwidth for you
