Question New intel build what ram to get?

[ash.sahadeo]

Im not sure if this question has been asked previously, but im a bit stumped....

Anyways im getting the 12700, B660 wifi board choosing 32gb DDR4 setup. Now the thing is should I get 3200mhz cl16 or 3600mhz cl16?
The price difference is 3200mhz R2349 ($149) and 3600mhz ($216) is R3399. Is it really worth getting the 3600mhz both options are the Trident z.
The closest thing to it corsair vengeance 3600mhz cl18 @R3k.
Most places prices are way too much or out of stock so its down to those 2 or 3 units.

Can someone please give me some advice.
Thanks in advance.

Unless your looking to squeeze every drop of blood from the pc just get the 3200.

Here's the thing.
There is not a good answer for everyone.

It depends on what you're doing.
For most people DDR4-3200 is fast enough.
But if you're a professional gamer, or if you have some other special use cases, then DDR4-3600 might give you that extra edge.

Thanks for the reply.
Im going to be doing hard core gaming and video editing just the basics i guess.
Im not sure whats the huge difference between the 2 besides the 1% low which ain't that much.
Maybe I should use that extra cash on a watercolor instead...
Upgrading to a new pc always gets me lost, the more i look at it the more options I get the more questions I have.

Yeah, having good cooling is always a solid improvement of the system.

I'd think most users could find a better and more noticeable place to spend the 67 dollars difference............whether on a PC part or not.
