only if autocad or something your using your pc for will actually use it. stay at 3600mhz.

Thanks man, appreciate all the advise!
AutoCAD is really memory hungry so might be better going 32Gb route. I was even contemplating 64Gb just so that i can load very large Ordanace Survey background maps and raster images but 2x32Gb sticks are not cheap.

yes £300 + for 64 gig. Buy 32 gig then if you can use it and it still falls in your budget.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £158.69 (includes shipping: £8.70)


Thanks You.

That will do great for my PC but now my wife also wants a dedicated machine for 4K video editing so i might need to modify things so that i get my prodcutrivity and she gets her 4K Premier Pro editing machine. Ahh sigh

I'm leaning towards the Fractal Design R6 for the HDD bays as it has space for plenty of mechanical drives and I have 4 SATA HDs and adding more all the time

@Quartz was talking about your wifes machine. I picked a matx board but a mid size case because its got nosie reducing pads inside for silent running. The Kolink would be good if you wanted a smaller sized box for the wife.
