Alright, so here's the situation. I'm doing a new build here shortly, and I'm trying to decide on motherboards. Why I'm posting in the memory section is because the two boards I want support different speeds.
The Build (will list both MOBOS):
-EVGA GTX 1080
-i7 6700K
-EVGA G2 SuperNOVA 750Watt
-SAMSUNG 250GB SSD
-Seagate 3TB HDD
-Corsair Dominator Platinum (2400mhz or 3000mhz)
MOBO (1): MSI Titanium XPower Gaming Edition FOUND HERE
MOBO (2): ASUS TUF Sabertooth FOUND HERE
As you can see, the motherboards support different speeds. One is capped at 2400mhz, and the other is significantly higher. The only thing I've never understood 100% in PC building is how significant speeds in RAM can make.
My intended use? Gaming (obviously), and I'll be getting back into content creating/streaming. It wouldn't be full-time or anything like that. Just a semi-casual experience when I have the time.
Is 2400mhz noticeably different when compared to 3000mhz+, or is the workflow margin so narrow it's not worth it? One motherboard has a few other options being $100 more expensive. I'm going for an all white build, the titanium is an alright choice (it's a bit more silver), but it has more to offer.
