[SOLVED] Looking to upgrade to G.skill Aegis

[Rui_Cardona_1]

Hello everyone, I've been thinking in finnaly upgrading my 8Gb of RAM from samsung (it came pre-installed on a build i bough some years ago, at the time i didn't know how to build it myself) and I came upon the Aegis from G.Skill

I was looking foward into buying the 2x16 for a total of 32Gb with a speed of 3000Mhz and a price (after local taxes) of 144€ they'll be matching with a GTX 1060 3Gb (later with a RTX 2060 if the NAVI Gpus from AMD are not worth it) and an I7-6700k which gets the job done for me.

Main needs: Coding, Gaming with strategy games and some rpgs (also throw in popular games like siege; cs:go; LoL; Minecraft with mods so I can mess around with my friends when we don't have anything else... you get the main idea) and also some video editing as a hobby (usually short videos of drones no longer than 10-15 minutes each)

Will I be happy with the purchase? Is the price worth it? Should I aim for less RAM?

Thanks in advance!

It should work great. 16GB may be fine if you don't run too many things at the same time, however with 32GB you have no worries for the future.

I think you would do just fine with 16GB. Also, if it is a pre-built system does it have a Z-series motherboard? If not, then you can only run up to DDR4 2400MHz RAM. *The 3000MHz would work, but it would only run at 2400MHz.

Man I overlooked that factor completly, I have an H series so I don't see a need to buy faster RAM at all.

Thanks for the help, I'll take what you said into absolute consideration

I said 2400MHz, but it very well could be 2133MHz. Intel 100 series mobos are limited to 2133MHz and 200 series are limited to 2400MHz; unless of course you have a Z-series, or I know the H170 Pro Gaming from Asus can run up to 2666MHz RAM. It's not very common though.

Yes I know I'm on a 200 series so 2400 will do fine. Again thanks for the help.
