someone will probably tell you that the two trident kits are relatively similar .... and the same with the corsair ones ... under them heat spreaders, they are *PROBABLY* the same memory chips, from different batches at different times, but their probably all about the same .... having ones that specifically say compatible with the chipset youve got might help you throw potential issues back in the faces of whatever company you buy it from, assuming it doesnt work golden ....
recently I was fooling with a friends new'ish craptop, running DDR4 @ 2400 mhz ... and it gave pretty similar benchmark results to what I get from running my ram 50% faster, yeah ... was a bit ****** that day ... sorry to the people I backstabbed in tier5 over it ... anyway ....
if you get the faster ones, you'd almost certainly be able to run them at the same timings as the lower ones ... but they are 'guaranteed' to run faster than the other ones .... whereas the lower ones might not run faster ....

I'm fairly new to understanding the science in all this but i know how to build my computers. It's the RAM that usually has me up in arms trying to find the right one to fit my needs.

my kit is 'rated' for 4000 mhz @ 19-23-23-45 .... but I run it at 3500 mhz @ 16-17-17-39 ... the memory controller on my ryzen gets screwy beyond 3500 .... I've spent time wondering how much better I could have pushed on the 14-14-14-34 kit though .... probably would have gotten me to 3466 @ 12-12-12-30 ... or there abouts (from others results) ... that would be a noticable difference ...
I cant imagine an 'normal' situation where I wouldnt look at 8x4gb, just because, thats still alot .... modelling is about efficiency ... if you jammed so much stuff into a scene that you could get close to filling 128gb of ram, you probably wouldnt want to waste time waiting for that scene to render, because its bloated ...

If you find 32GB is not enough, look at what you are doing first and whether you need to change your workflow instead.
If you need a more pro machine for mega 3D tasks, then you'd be considering dual Titans perhaps, for their VRAM.

Good too know since I was looking into putting 8x8gb of ram from gskill in my new rig this year.

There is nothing wrong with that, just throwing it out there b/c we often get so caught up with trying to build something amazing that we shoot outselves in the foot financially...
I mean, you are budgeting to eat after purchase right?

Iv got 32g of 3600 in my pc but the board is capped at 2800 unless i overclock it (they didnt advertise that bit ) Ill get round to it one day but running the ram slow, you cant really tell.

sounds like you havent done it ... so ... would you even know ?
if you manually select an XMP profile in your bios, it should bring it into line, on an intel ... changing ratios and multipliers and stuff ... you might notice a few miliseconds difference here and there ... guess it depends to a degree how nitpicky and OCD each of us happens to be ...
