Depends how much you want to spend. For x299 as i have also, best price/performance is around 3600mhz. My corsair lpx 32gb kit was only around £130 for 4x8GB.

So really any 4x8gb 3600mhz kit you like the look of, best if it is also matched to the motherboard qvl list to ensure compatibility. Anything more speed wise and the price can become quite absurd.

Just add another two of what you already have. Unless you want to spend lots of money for 2% difference.

the ram I have in there now is going to go in another build, so I'm looking to buy a new kit

Just buy 2x kits of 2x8GB of the same RAM at the same time, no point in wasting money on Quad kits, this isn't 2015. You can get decent Corsair/Crucial/G.Skill for £65-70 for 3600MHz C16, and a bit more if you want RGB.
