Hello

I'm looking for best 32GB RAMs for my PC. I need best possible upgrade for smooth performance cos I do a lot of multitasking, photo & video editing.
I have ASUS Z97-K motherboard (LGA 1150) with Intel Core i7-4770K

At the moment I'm thinking of buying Corsair Platinum RAMs, but still not sure if they are the best in a market and suitable for me. Ideally I want speed of 3200Mhz DDR3, though cant find higher then 2400mhz.
Can someone please help here and give good advice?
Thanks in advance!

You have selected a great motherboard that has been tested beyond the components currently on the market. That means it should be stable for years, even with today's hottest components.

Currently, You are limited to the hottest components on the market today.

You said "best." The "best" can cost much more than that is 1% slower.

Looking at NewEgg's 4x8GB DDR3,

G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2933 (PC3 23400) CAS 12 Desktop Memory
Model F3-2933C12D-16GTXDG costs $700 for 16GB.

G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) CAS 10 Desktop Memory
Model F3-2400C10D-16GTX costs $190 for 16GB.

I'd skip the 3200MHz dream, and go with reasonably fast, brand name RAM.

For 32GB you want all sticks in a single package, you don't want to mix two sets - no guarantee they will work together, currently I'd suggest the GSkill Tridents in 2666/11

at $489 very good price, the Best would be their 2800/12 set, though at $1,119, it's on the steep side for many....Think you'd be very happy with the 2666/11 Tri's, that's what I'm running on my Z87 Hero (in sig) and they are great!
