Hey there, Gamers, Crazy Overclockers! Swaggers! Extreme builders! And Man-Cavemasters!

A problem has emerged after an order of my new gaming rig, and I need to choose what ram I wish in it, instead of Ripjaws 4 3000mhz "Since they are currently not possiable to order from that store".

There ain't that much time to decied in either, it seemse, so I have to give back an answer soon.

The choice stand between these.

Ripjaws 4 2666 MHz vs HyperX Predator DDR4 3000MHz 16GB

And last, but least possiable "since they can't get them it seemse as it is, but things may change but chances are slim", 3000MHz Ripjaws 4, which my cpu has confirmed can run about "2750MHz" functional. But again, I may have to wait long/Or the chances are I can't get them at all.

My computer originally had them put in "As a bonus" since Ripjaws 2666mhz was out of stock, but an order mix up / problem got my ram switched over in another pc. By mistake - This is not the subject however.

Which of the ram choices would be the best?

I have posted my spec/build down below too.

Price is no object cause I ain't gonna pay more for the mistake. And please if you vote for Ripjaws 4 3000mhz, throw a vote for a secondary option too since
the chances are slim to non on that.

Ram/Memory choices:
Ripjaws 4 2666MHz:

    A note! It seemse HyperX Predator DDR4 3000MHz 16GB is able to run 3000mhz all out. Whilst Ripjaws 4 can only run up to 2750Mhz.

    Hmm, hard to say, I know little about ram really, or how much you might gain from 3000mhz over 2666mhz, still, half the fun of having the ultra high end stuff is to "have" it even if the performance gain is minimal, I'd go with the 3000mhz memory just for that reason, so I'd go with the hyper X unless you feel like waiting/hunting down the ripjaws.
     
    Also take note, that if you don't mind swapping out the ram you could order the upgrade and install it yourself (ram installation is one of the easier things to do) and get the ripjaws you've wanted (or even a higher speed)

    If they can't get the RipJaw you want I honestly would go with the Kingston HyperX Predator DDR4 3000MHz 16GB.  Either way, you will get the OC capabilities that you are wanting at the expense of the vendor who botched up the build.  Speaking of which who built your system?  Those specs are fantastic!
