depends on the game, Fallout 4 shows great gains with faster DRAM

Game developers more and more are looking to use DRAM, both in quantity and speed to increase performance, a trend that's not likely to go away

Corsair Vengeance LPX is always a good and safe choice. Low profile makes it suitable for any type of cooler and there is white and red versions in addition to the black one if you have a themed build. Make sure its DDR4!

I would say anything corsair LPX as well. I have used corsair for years now, all the way back to their XMS2-6400 DDR2 days, and have never been let done. Some may complain about a stick being DOA from time to time, which has never been the case for me. Buts thats the same which all components and MFCs. I'm about to use some LPX DDR4 2400s in my next build
