I apologize, but I am extremely new at this. I purchased a gaming computer from CyberPower PC 6 years ago and it has been time to update, to say the least. I have a couple of questions regarding RAM. First I will list my computer components, so you know what I am working with:
-Z170 Pro Gaming Asus Motherboard

-Gtx 1060 - 6GB

-i5 6600k
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117561&cm_re=i5_6600k-_-19-117-561-_-Product
I also purchased Ballistix Sport LT 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4. I planned on purchasing 2 more 4GB sticks, but now see that I am better off returning the RAM I purchased and exchanging it for 2 x 8GB, so that I can upgrade in the future. I'm stuck between 2 different types or RAM, HyperX Savage and Ballistix Sport LT.
The HyperX Savage is faster in both speed and Cas Latency, so this makes it the better choice? I read somewhere that too great a differential between RAM speed and CPU frequency is risky. Is this true? If so, am I okay using The HyperX at 3000 when my CPU DDR4 frequency is 2133 MHz? I also want to make sure that the HyperX is compatible with my system.

I want to thank you for the help in advance as I am trying to learn more about this stuff. Any and all knowledge is greatly appreciated!
