am building a new rig and I would really appreciate some advice. I have: Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Aura motherboard . I will be fitting Intel Core i7 6700K OEM Skylake CPU, what is the best ram to fit
 
Solution
I'd go with Predator series.

Fury series - regular performance RAM.
Savage series - high performance RAM. (Currently have it in my Skylake and running at 3000 Mhz, specs in my sig.)
Predator series - extreme performance RAM.

On your MoBo, you can run the best Kingston offers at 3200 Mhz in 2 slots out of 4 (according to the Asus).
According to the Asus RAM support list (link), the fastest RAM that you can run in all 4 slots would be: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3400,

But the fastest RAM that your MoBo supports would be: G.Skill TridentZ Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-3466,

or G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-3466,

Note: you can run 3466 Mhz RAM in only 2 slots. Those RAMs won't work at speeds of 3466 Mhz when all 4 slots are populated.
 
thank you so much for your reply , i can get these 2 rams cheap , Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4-2400MHz 32GB and Kingston HyperX Predator DDR4 3333MHz 16 GB, with the Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Aura motherboard i7 6700k skylake , are they good if so which 1 would you go with
