Question Is this future proof?

[HerEyeSin]

Basically building my pc and am new to this. I want a super beast PC and am trying to see if these bad boys will do the trick

It depends on the length of that future (1-year, 3-year, etc).
It will be helpful to know the motherboard on the build.

Yea I saw it didn’t have ECC so I think I will get one with ECC. Mother board will be Z390

This will also depend largely on what applications you will be running.

If you're talking about gaming only - currently there is no reason to go beyond 16GB. You'll literally be letting 16GB of your 32GB sit idle waiting for games to come out that utilise more than 16GB.

And whilst there won't be a significant amount of real world difference, there are faster DDR4 modules. But you won't see much real world difference. Just going off your 'super beast' wording.

Your motherboard supports 2800-4400MHz OC RAM, and that model is listed as tested, so you should not have any issues.

I usually don't go above 3200MHz RAM because I cannot see even a smidgen advantage in real world applications.
They only appear faster on benchmarks, so I place the savings into other areas that could benefit, like a faster SSD, CPU or GPU.

I don't build computers for the future. I build systems for the requirements at the moment.
If more performance is required, later on, then upgrade accordingly.

Could you recommend a solid one? I plan on playing and streaming mainly at 1440p 144 hz

You do not need ECC ram on a gaming system, in fact ECC ram may be slower, and is likely not available in that performance level, and is likely incompatible with whatever Z390 gaming board you buy.

Yea realized that is the memory a good one? I can get it for 212$ instead of 300$

Yes that is a good quality RAM kit.
