Those memory speeds are top tier enthusiast level clock speeds. Here's that memory you were looking at, if you feel like spending 400$ on RAM.

But to clarify, the 4400 Speeds are OVERCLOCK speeds. They are not basic consumer grade DDR4 RAM. the common types of RAM bought by new builders are rated at 2666 - 3600 MHz. 3200MHz is usually the best price-performance that most people go for. For example here's a popular choice:

Notice the price difference?
