Is this RAM kit better, or that RAM kit better for this build

[GotJungle]

CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock Z170M Pro4S Micro ATX LGA1151

RAM Option 1: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4-2400 UDIMM

RAM Option 2: Corsair Vengeance® LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15)

PCPartPicker.com shows both RAM kits as compatible with the CPU/Motherboard combination. Intended use is gaming and HTPC. I know I don't "need" 16GB but I rather get the pair now instead of wishing I had it a couple of years from now.

Which RAM option is better? I haven't looked at RAM in a long while and the market has changed. I'm suddenly shopping. I'm not aiming at overclocking but apparently the 3000MHz would only be available with overclocking. Would the 3000MHz actually run with the i3-6100 and Z170M, just slower, without overclocking? The 3000MHz kit is $10 more, a price I'm fine with if it runs and gives me more performance now or, if I got a faster processor, later.

Thanks for help with some basics.

8gb of ddr4 2133 ram is all you need for gaming, you usually wont get an noticeable fps increase from more ram or higher mhz ram
(certain games benefit from it but a lot dont)

16 gb of ram is used for editting, not needed for gaming at all

I'd get this as its from one of the best ram companies and is cheaper than the 2133 mhz version right now

Faster DRAM can in fact raise FPS, depending on the game up to 10% or more, i.e. Fallout 4. Partpicker you have to take with a grain of salt, while yes a Z170 should have no problem with 3000 DRAM, the primary factor is the MC 9memory controller) of your CPU, and haven't seen any 6100s running 3000 sticks (at least at 3000 ), With a 6100, believe 2400 would be a good reasonable pick

Thanks. If I hadn't made the mistake of browsing while tired I would stick with the 2400.

But I've already got both kits in hand and I'll return one and keep the other. I'm reading here that there is no disadvantage to running the 3000MHz DRAM. It may/will perform absolutely no better in this build today but also it won't perform worse than the 2400 MHz DRAM.

If I've understood this, the 3000 MHz is the speed limit, not the required speed, for the one pair of modules, and given that it otherwise matches the cpu and motherboard, it'll run okay at a slower speed dictated by the cpu.

If that's not right, please advise.

As I mentioned it will depend on your individual CPU if you can run the full 3000, if not we can try down to 2800 or whatever with appropriate timing and voltage changes to keep performance optimal
