Hi all,

Going for my first PC build next week - I'm quite new to it all and not really technical, but fancied learning how to build a pc over lockdown. Unfortunately my old PCs CPU has died. So trying to use a few components from my old build and want to try and achieve the best performance possible for Gaming.

I really need some suggestions on RAM.

Components are as follows:

Case - Lian-Li Lancool II mesh.
Motherboard - ASUS ROG Maximus Hero XII (Wifi)
CPU - Intel i9-10900KF 3.7Ghz 10 core
GPU - Asus 3080 TUF OC (on order)
AIO - Gigabyte AORUS 360mm RGB Liquid AIO
PSU - Corair Semi Modular 850w
SSD - Samsung 1TB 970 pro M.2 & Samsung 860 pro sata

RAM - currently I have 2 x 16gb Corsair @ 3000mhz. I really need to get some advice on this - I would like to improve this to around 4000mhz but want to keep as stable as possible so don't want to OC too much. I quite fancy some RGB ram, and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. Do you thinks it's best to run 4 x 8gb sticks or 2 x 16gb for gaming?

Thanks!!

You'll be fine with 3000 MHz RAM unless you want the acme of performance (but then why are you buying Intel?)

And two sticks is usually better than 4.
 
If I want the acme of performance what would you suggest?

To be honest, I have just had intel and parts to accommodate the 1200 socket.

I know the latest Ryzen is coming out in a few weeks. Really impatient of me, but after the delay of the 3080s I just don't want to be months out of playing games. That's why I guess.
 
All parts have been ordered to be fair.

I will be streaming as well. I just saw this listed as the better of the Intel CPU processors out to date through several sources and reviews.

Can you elaborate? I need educating clearly.
