Hello,

I am building new machine with Asus Z170 and i7-6700K.
I need 32GB of ram but the price range is so big.

I found these:
Kingston HyperX Fury 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 2666MHz HX426C15FBK2/16for $198 (i calculate my currency to dollars) and again i see
Corsair 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3000MHz CMK32GX4M2B3000C15 - $283
Kingston 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz HX430C15PBK4/32 -$374

Besides the extra mhz (is that so important for that much money?) what is the big difference between the HyperX Fury and the Corsair?

Please give me some advices.
Best regards

Since both the HyperX and Corsair and Kingston all have a CL latency of 15, yet the Corsair and Kingston have a higher frequency, get either of those. They're better and should be only a tiny bit more money. RAM does increase performance, even if just a little.

The Kingston can run in quad-channel if you have a quad-capable motherboard, but I doubt it, Z170 boards are usually dual-channel.

Its my bad the Kingston is 4x8 for $198. Its the cheapest. Im sorry for the mistake. So is it worth it to get the Corsair or the Fury.
Why do you think 4 sticks wont work? I saw that the Z170 is dual channel but is there an good alternative for that i7-6700k that will work with quad-channel?
