Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

RAM upgrade for I7-10700K (alien.top)

Thinking of getting new RAM for i7-10700k currently I have HyperX Predator 2x8 3200MHz. And I'm thinking of getting 2x16 kit for coding/virtual machines, gaming although I'm not sure which speed should I get, my motherboard is ASUS Z-490PLUS and it supports up to 4600MHz. Although, I've read some posts and some suggest getting 3600MHz or is it better to get faster RAM like 4000/4400/4600 to future-proof my PC?

If you wanna maximize your RAM, you can get a 4x32GB Non-ECC DDR4 2933MHz

or you can just go for 2x16GB Non-ECC DDR4 4600MHz and try overclocking it to 5866MHz as it's 10700k max bandwidth it'll be able to handle.
