Hi,

I was looking at:
G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 64GB (8 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Memory Kit Model F4-2400C15Q2-64GRK
and
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 64GB (8 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Intel X99 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16Q2-64GVR,
but honestly I am not sure if I would be able to see any difference in real life applications. This system will be used for professional Adobe software and not for gaming.

What would be your advice? Thanks!
 
I can't seem to find any benchmarks on PS performance as it relates to speed of memory, only quantity.

That said, if the price difference is marginal, I'd opt for the faster of the two.
 
Things like rendering videos/graphics could benefit from the faster memory, assuming latency is close.
 
May I suggest you to check for a Dual Processor system instead of that overpriced Processor? A pair of Xeons E5 2630V4 (10C/2.2GHz) are less than the price of the Ci7 6950X, and for as long that the Software scales with the number of Cores, it will perform better. While the platform is more complex and expensive (More expensive Motherboard, more RAM, a bit bigger Power Supply), the end price would be around the same, and you will get more features (ECC RAM being one).
