Best Ram Speed for i5 6600k?

[mrfatboy]

My computer in my signature below is dying quickly. I need to get a new system.

I am thinking of getting the following parts:

i5 6600k
GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-UD3 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

What speed of ram should I get that would allow me some overclocking in the future? I'm looking for best bang for the buck.

I have been focusing on the Gskill ripjaw series. Should I get 2400, 2600, 2800, or 3000?

Should point you in the right direction.

provided you can get it at a good price 2x8 3000 c15 looks like good value to me
after that the price seems to jump a lot

legit reviews didn't test enough real world software
i suspect programs that fit most of what they need inside the cpu cache see little to no improvement from faster ram
most games seem to overflow the cpu cache to varying degrees going by there performance gain from faster ram when cpu limited but most games are gpu limited especially when reviews leave msaa enabled

(In Grand Theft Auto V we set the game to run at 8x MSAA with 16x AF and normal image quality settings as we didn’t want the GPU to bottleneck the system too bad, but wanted a setup that your average gamer would actually play on.) lol wtf? so they increase gpu load with stupid levels of aa and drop some settings that potentially increase cpu load and make the game look noticeably better and call it settings that most run?

Computers never die, parts do. Perhaps it's not fast enough? Just replce what is broken? But a new system is nice.

DDR4 3000mhz cl15 is the best price/perf option in my opinion. Hence why I went that direction myself.

You need 16GB kit or upgrade the 8gb you have. and 15CL is too high,, ,,, down the clock to 2400Mhz and put or CL12
