I'll definitely take a look at that! So, which one would be better for gaming? The 2666 MHz or the 3600 MHz version?

For gaming, both options should perform well. However, if you're looking to maximize your gaming experience and don't mind paying extra for overclocking capabilities, then the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 MHz might be worth it. Remember that the 2666 MHz version is still a great option for most users, including gamers.

Alright, I'll consider both options. Thanks everyone for your recommendations!
