I'm after 2x4gb sticks of memory but not sure what speed,brand?

I hear the team group 3200 is supposed to be ok?
I don't really want to spend anymore than that if I can help it..budget blown for this month lol

ok thankyou,those are the ones I had shortlisted.

just sold some odds and ends so got another £100..is there any difference from running 2x8gb or 4x4gb?
I'm using an 8600k

thanks

No difference other than a bit more power consumption for the four sticks, and makes it a little harder for the CPU's IMC. If the platform were Quad-Channel then it's more worth it, but as it's Dual-Channel just go for the 2x8.

ok thanks

These are the best 2x8 choices for Z370, imo:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Team Group Dark Pro "8Pack Edition" 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/= £199.99
1 x Team Group Dark Pro "8Pack Edition" 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C16 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/= £209.99
1 x G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C16 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit (F4-3600C16D-16GTZR)= £248.99

Total: £667.67 (includes shipping: £8.70)

The G.Skill is the same, you just pay extra for the RGB if you want it.
