Howdy great peeps,

I recently obtained a "11900KF" CPU with a "MSI MPG Z590 Gaming Plus" motherboard along with a "Inno3D RTX 3080 Ti X3" GPU.
I'm just absolutely distraught over what RAM to choose as I read that some say it doesn't matter much whilst others say it definitely does?

Wanting this build to be "future proof" like my past build (4790k, GTX 1080, DDR3 1600MHz Vengeance RAM 2x8GB) and I'm just stuck on which RAM to pick,
so before I make any further purchase I would just like to get some opinions on which of the available RAM in this list I should buy (my country's vendors).

I've set the search parameters to have a minimum of 1.35V (apparently that is better than 1.30V?) and to have between 6.00 - 10.00 latency (which is also good?)
The RAM I need is DDR4 3200MHz (the motherboard can support higher numbers but I was led to believe that it was better to use 'native' non-OC supported speeds?)

This list shows my country's available RAM sets (2x8 GB), practically all the major known trustworthy companies are in this (awesome) price comparison website:

By the way, If the RAM's RGB lights can be controlled, either RGB or non-RGB seems good to me!
Most of my case/insides is black with some red accents with fans that have red lights (Corsair AF140s).

Thanks a bunch.

The official voltage for DDR4 RAM is 1.2v, however XMP increases this to 1.35v to run RAM modules at higher speeds. You absolutely do not want to run DDR4 beyond 1.35v or you risk damaging the integrated memory controller in your CPU. I would advise 3600Mhz for your 11th gen i9, if it were me I would get:

Or if you want RGB:

I wouldn't worry too much about latency personally, you might end up paying rather a lot for something extra fancy when in the end it's going to make no noticeable difference. I would recommend 32GB of RAM not 16GB.
