I wouldn’t recommend that high of speed as you get diminished returns with RAM. 3466-3600 MHz is the sweet spot for intel CPUs with only like a 1% performance reduction going to 3200mhz. Really depends on what you want to pay. I use 3600mhz cas 16, I’d say that’s about good price/performance. If you go 3200 get cas 14. 3466 get cas 15.
