Hello all,

I am at the final phase to finish my new PC, the last thing I'd like to know how to pick the best RAM for the following setup:

-Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core
-ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Dual OC
-ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING, Socket 1151
-Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooler
-Fractal Design Define S case
-EVGA Supernova G3 550W
-Samsung 850 evo 250 GB SSD

At least I know, I'd like to stick with HyperX Fury 2x8GB DDR4 series, but which spec do you recommend and why, I mean CL14 vs CL15 and 2133 vs 2400 vs 2666 Mhz? Thank you!

That board supports up to 3400 Mhz so I would get the fastest you can afford and with the lowest CL number (CL14)
Personally, I would look at Corsair Vengeance LPX as it offers much faster speeds...

It's worth getting the fastest RAM that you can. With the introduction of DDR4, the timing difference's do not cause slow downs like they used too.

Here is a Crucial page on the topic.

Personally, I would look at Corsair Vengeance LPX as it offers much faster speeds and a similar design!
I have these!
