Hi all need some advice, it's been awhile since my last upgrade and lost track with the specs. im looking for RAM upgrade, motherboard MSI z370 gaming plus. intel i7 8700K
my ram now:
HX426C16FB2/8 KINGSTON HYPERX FURY BLACK 8GB DDR4 2666MHZ (2x, total 16 GB)

It's hitting the wall for awhile now, especially opening multiple browsers and IDE, and many others app, it just can't sustain. I'm thinking to max out to 64GB so to prolong the life span for this PC until my full system upgrade.

Will this cosair ram kit fit my pc? 64GB 3600mhz, i think will just go with 3600mhz since it's only RM12 difference.

or this kingston fury, 32gb x2, but it looks like it's compatible with ryzen? will it also compatible with intel? this one seems cheaper, this one seems cheaper like RM100+ cheaper
Model:KF432C16BB/32

while i did also look at the msi website, the table is hard to filter and search is kinda buggy.

There are so many DDR4 ram on the market, which one you guys recommend that is reliable and bang for the buck?

Whats ur CPU? Ur mobo unlikely to full use that 3600MHZ speed, better just go for 3200MHZ which is cheaper & plentiful. Your case, you might not (most likely) get to 3200MHZ. Use 32GB per stick (x2) if possible coz 4x16GB is slightly harder on getting faster speeds.

Corsair LPX or Kingston Beast or Teamgroup TForce

It's Intel i7 8700K
Yes, I'm going for 32 (x2)

Is just that Kingston Fury Beast is RM100 cheaper compare to Cosair.
From MSI website Memory Compatiblity
Not sure why.
Kingston Fury Beast:
KF432C16BB

Cosair:
3200Mhz: CMK64GX4M2E3200C16
3600Mhz: CMK64GX4M2D3600C18
