Building a new PC and looking to get 16gb DDR4 ram. My motherboard says "Dual DDR4 3400 (OC) support" if that is of any relevance.
My issue is, I have no idea which speed to pick. I'm on this website right now and it's got loads of different DDR4 speeds on the left, as it shows in this pic...
Got a £50/$73 budget for the RAM. Which should I pick?
Thanks.

2133 is the rated memory speed for Intel no matter what the MB says, but Intel is fine with faster and will even warranty it. 2666 will offer maybe a 5% improvement for memory intensive things; like WinRAR, encoding video, and so forth.
tbh, they are probably the same sticks of ram.. all you're paying for is the XMP profile with that $7.
Personally if it is still 1.2v RAM at 2666, that would be my choice.
