I'm fairly new to pc building and can't find the perfect set of rams, Researched and found this https://appuals.com/best-ddr4-rams-for-gaming-pcs/ should I go with these? Suggestions appreciated!
Really depends on what you're doing with the system. I put some corsair pc3200 in my 9900k and it works very well for me. But use case for the machine means a lot. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
First you'll need to know with what motherboard you're going. The cpu doesn't give a rats ass initially what ram it has to work with, the MOTHERBOARD however does. When you've settled on a motherboard, then you need to check the memory "QVL" or "Qualified Vendor List". That list (usually available for download in pdf) specifies with brands and types of ram have been tested to work with the motherboard (based on article number) and in what configuration (2 sticks, 4 sticks)... It's not as easy as to google "best ram for 9600k", if you snapped up the first brand you see, and it's not on your motherboards QVL the system wouldn't boot at all. And if as you say you're not very tech savvy, you wouldn't know where the problem was.
Cpu-z is an analysis tool, it doesn't tell you which ram modules are compatible and recommended with the motherboard. It just tells you which ones are installed, the frequency they're running at... Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
Besides the fact that this topic is dead for 6b months, the CPU is irrelevant. It's the motherboard's QVL that matters. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
