Asus RAMPAGE V EXTREME/U3 EATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-3300 Memory

I have removed the link due to it breaking rules about names etc.

You want DDR4 and possibly 16GB rather than 32GB? in a 4x4GB kit.

i cant find any DDR4 3300 on the overclockers site?

The link had competitor names/prices and links to the other sites.

ok thanks. my bad sorry.

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-433-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=2551

so whats the difference between the 3200 and the 3300? will the 3200 work?

8 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 3300(O.C.)/3000(O.C.)/2800(O.C.)/2666(O.C.)/2400(O.C.)/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory

If it will do 3300 then it will do 3200 also.

You wont gain anything from going from a lower 2666/3000 kit unless you benchmark a lot and must shave fractions of seconds off.
