I'm building a pc for my wife for her school graduate projects (3ds max design, Vray, tons of rendering, Photoshop & Sketchup.).
I grabbed a 1700 and plan on overclocking it to 3.8 hopefully. I'll be buying a Gigabyte AB350M-GAMING 3 and will need a 2X16GB kit.
Assuming in the QVL list, would I see a difference between 3200 vs 2666 vs slower 2400?
For example, I can get this for $190 elsewhere

Or should I pay $40 more for this?

Based on Legitreview, there's a difference. But does it matter if the machine is NOT going to be used for gaming?
pugetsystems has an old review (2013 I think) and it showed that it doesn't affect productivity software that much.
Edit: I understand that since 2X16GB kits are going to be dual rank, I'll be limited to 2400 speeds anyway, at least for the time being; correct? Is it worth it to spring more $$ for higher speed RAM now?
Thanks!
