Hello, can i please get some advice on DDR4 memory?
It is for a new build with an MSI Z170M Mortar mATX mobo and an i5 6600K chip. I have never overclocked, nor am I a gamer, but I do sometimes work with large file collections and am slowly converting my CDs to FLAC.
Is 16gb [2 x 8gb] enough for me? Also, I was thinking maybe 3000 MHz instead of the cheaper 2166 to help future-proof my build and allow me to do a little overclocking if I ever figure out how and for what I would use it. I am not looking to break the bank, but I know RAM is a very important component so I would like a few good value/performance options to look for during the big holiday sales coming up.
Thanks!
