Testing the waters for Z170 and DDR4. I think I've decided on everything except memory. I currently have a 2x8GB set of Crucial Ballistix DDR3. I don't always watch my HWMonitor sensors, but when I do the most I've noticed is ~12GB. Like I said, I'm not usually watching so I'm sure it could be higher.
My first question is what do you guys think of the Crucial Ballistix Elite and HyperX Savage for DDR4? I want something black and it obviously needs to be DDR4 if I'm going to Z170. Here are the products in question:

Is speed a big issue for DDR4? I can get 2133-2400MHz kits for ~$20 less, but I've read speed is pretty important and latency is less of an issue in DDR4.
Also, as I mentioned before I'm using quite a bit of my current 16GB kit under some loads. Would it make sense to go ahead and go for a 32GB kit?
