Hey all,

I'm going to be buying a I7-8700(non K) and a new motherboard and RAM as well. I'm not sure if I should just buy a B360 and stick with 2666Mhz of ram speed or go for a z370 at 3000Mhz.

Not very. A bib bump in RAM speed is not as big a difference for gaming as 1 step of overclocking. For an I7-8700 - almost no difference.

(I got one as well - good choice)
