I'm building a high end photo editing machine.

I've narrowed down to these 4 options.
In real terms is there any benifit to the faster mhz?
Other than this - can you help me understand the difference/benefits of the options between ripjaws and trident?

$499 G.SKILL F4-2400C15Q-64GVR 64GB (16GBX4) DDR4 2400MHZ 1.2V RIPJAWS V RED
$589 G.SKILL F4-3200C16Q-64GVK 64GB (16GBX4) DDR4 3200MHZ 1.35V RIPJAWS V BLACK
$629 G.SKILL F4-3333C16Q-64GTZ 64GB (16GBX4)DDR4 3333MHZ 1.35V TRIDENT
$675 G.SKILL F4-3400C16Q-64GTZ 64GB (16GBX4)DDR4 3400MHZ 1.35V TRIDENT Z

The memory will be used in this:

Primary is photo editing ? If so 32GB should more than handle anything you work on, for that I'd go a 2x16GB. Do video you might think 64GB. The Trident Z and Ripjaws V are extremely close and from like sets (same data rate and CL you are unlikely to see a difference, the TriZs seem to have a bit more OC headroom. I'm running TriZs in 3200/14, though for your stated purpose, the 3200/16 in either RJ V or TriZ should more than suffice. Getting above 3200 Prices jump and aren't really price to performance a good buy

We do occasional video work with 4k, so I'm going to spring for the extra RAM. Perhaps the Trident 3333 is the sweet spot for me here?
