hi guys, i know that this is a silly question however im confused to which RAM would give me the best preformance (gaming - some video editing - some gaming rendering)

the PC build that i have so far (i got these assembled however still did not order the "perfect" ram for this baby of mine.... thus here are the specs and hope you guys could give help:

1- Intel I6700k
2- Samsung 512GB 950 pro m.2 NvMe SSD
3- Gigabyte GTX 1080 GTX Extreme gaming (got a 2nd one coming aswell)
4- H110i V2 Cooling
5- ROG Maximus Viii Extreme Assembly
6- 2 PSU (4got the exact name and model)
7- Antec NINETEEN HUNDRED RED *case*
8- connected to a UHD tv Via UHDMI cable (switch it to a 144MHz monitor for gaming).

DDR4 rams i have in mind at the moment (all 32GB as im going 8GBx4)
1- Trident Z
2- Vengence LPX -CMK32GX4M4B3733C17R- (however this one is optimized for x99 so i want to know if it would preform on the MB that i have)
3- RipJaws V.
4- Dominator Platinum.

thanks for the help guys.

There is no big drop in gaming if you go for i7-6800K over i7-6700K but there is comparatively very big gain in rendering.
As you have bought i7-6700K already now there is no changing.

Dominator is top of the line and is far better than any other DDR4 available in market. If you can afford it go for it.

true however i need to test the games the i render aswell thus from what ive noticed doing it all on the 6700k i can enable the game to the extreme that i need...

a friend of mine did promote the LPX aswell, and told me about the Dominator Platinum.

do u think the dominator outshines it or? (as he did recommend the dominator more)

a friend of mine suggested that i should switchout or another MB with an x99 to get the most future-proof things as this MB wont be compatible with the new gen proccessors. so atm im ill for another motherboard which i can try to replace this with without the need to change most of the things (typically going to change the proccessor and get the most out of the RAMS -dominator which xapoc has sujjected but 16gb x 2 3200MHz as research suggested that 133 wont make that much of a difference).

any recommendations?

I opted out form z170 and x99 and for now staying with z97 till more tech comes out in next 2-3 years. Saved me bit of cash.
I really wanted to get x99 based system with dual liquid reservoir but it would kill my budget so going to just wait, perhaps prices come down as newer tech rolls out.

true but z97 from what available now isnt as good as whats mentioned, plus as this all came to me as a birthday gift i pressume im going to stick with the guild that i have and just add the dominators for now (as this is all free xD) and use it for 2 to 3 years if not even 4 (depending on my demand for the rendering and usage of OC).

Thanks for all the help guys ur the best.
