Most IMC(internal memory controller) can run 2666mhz ddr4. When you get to 3000/3200 mhz it gets a lil sketchy. Each cpu is over clocking ram after 2100mhz. Theres no guarantee that it will work as soon as you pop it in. Some tweeking may be needed. My personal computer is running gskill 3200, but i had to bump system agent voltage a tiny bit. But before i had this model i had a set of geil 3400 which wouldnt run no matter what i did. My IMC couldnt handle it. But Asus has released a list of QVL for ram at higher xmp settings. Performance wise 2666 and 3000 is negligible. You wont see any performance gains.

Here is the QVL link http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA2011/Rampage_V_Extreme/R5E_QVL.pdf

This is good RAM and not expensive and QVL...
ASUS QVL list say they are tested even in all slots, that's 64GB... Probably two kits.

F4-3000C15Q2-32GRK

CORSAIR have Dominator Platinum 2800

CMD32GX4M4A2800C16 32GB
CMD64GX4M8A2800C16 64GB

If you want gambling GSkill Trident Z work on 14-14-14 latency
F4-3000C14Q-32GTZ

First you need to decide what you want
2800MHz 1.200V
3000MHz 1.350V

I'm thinking of:
2 x F4-3000C15Q-16GRR
or
F4-2800C16Q-32GRK
What's your opinion?
My dubt is for taking 8 dimm whit the 1st option

So double F4-3000C15Q-16GRR kit, also if they're the same memory kit, it's an error?

Stick with a single kit of the capacity that you want. Don't combine memory kits.

I will buy it in a short time, but i dont want to take the wrong choise

Even if they are identical kits they can present problems. Where are you shopping for your memory kit? Does the store have a website?
