Question Corsair Vengeance LPX or HyperX Fury, which is better?

I have 2 choices for memory for my upcoming first build :
1-Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2×8) 3000MHz
2-HyperX Fury 16GB (2×8) 3200MHz
They both cost the same, which one should I go for? Should I go for the 200 extra MHz of the HyperX Fury one, or should I go for the more common and better-looking one from Corsair since 200MHz won't make the much difference anyway? As far as I know, Corsair's heat sink is better, right? What would you suggest?

Right. neither manufacturer actually makes the RAM chips. If you wanted I'm sure you could find out which vendor makes the DRAM chips on each set but it doesn't matter that much outside of a few cases. First the 3200Mhz memory would be better than the 3000Mhz however you should look at the CAS timings first. If the 3200 set is like 18 and the 3000 set is 15 then the 3000/15 would be the better set.

The timing for the HyperX Fury is:
18-21-21
The timing for the Corsair Vengeance is:
15-17-17-35
I don't know how much these delays affect performance or efficiency and I don't even know why one has 3 timings and one has 4 timings...but which one do you think is better now?
