So I read few topics saying 3000mhz ram is fine with i7 7700k eventhough it says less in supported. My question is ... how about 3200mhz. Soon i will get i7 7700k , asus z170 pro gaming MB and Kingston 16GB KIT DDR4 3200MHz CL16 HyperX Predator Series ram. Will it work together ?

You may have issues with the 7700k and a Z170MB. You'll need the bios updated to support a Kaby Lake cpu.

So if I'm not as experienced in oc of memory and stuff like that is Kingston 16GB KIT DDR4 2400MHz CL15 HyperX Fury Black Series better choice for me? And if that's true with MB I guess I will have to find another one then.
