Hello feels like another lifetime last time I Did upgraded ( or start from 0 building my pC) so I started to read in the world wide web what could I afford and what could I not. So I digged up few months and already bought a: Sorry if the presented stuff are not accordingly made but as said newbie. So my question is which GDD4 memory to use
So far as I see it im thinking about "
Corsair VENGEANCE RGB Pro 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz CMW16GX4M2C3200C16
" or " :
Predator Hyperx 16gb kit (2x8GB) 3600 MHz RGB
  • Memory Profile: 3600MHz, 17-19-19, 1.35V; 3000MHz, 15-17-17, 1.35V

    Or if anyone can give better choice RGB is not a must but nice to have :)
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Forgot to mention the video but its old rx550, waiting on what Radeon team will show us soon or upgrade to 3080

    Big thanks, and sorry for the bad made post

Solution
The DDR4-3600 CAS 17 would be slightly better than the DDR4-3200 CAS 16, but only really a deciding factor if price is the same or close on both kits, which I doubt. DDR4-3200 CAS 16 is pretty cheap, stepping to 3600 CAS 18 is a small premium, but once you get to 3600 CAS16-17 those are "premium" sticks.

With your tower cooler, are you certain that the fan doesn't overhang any of the RAM slots? If so, might be a good idea to get RAM with short heatsinks.

Yeah actually, the space from the tower to ram is very little + kinda having troubles to put them , thats true short heatsinks will be actually a must just double checked
Isnt DDR4-3600 CAS 16 be better. Will put more investment into RAM and GPU so actually thinking for this now: G.Skill Trident Z RGB Series - DDR4 - 16 GB: 2 x 8 GB - DIMM 288-pin F4-3600C16D- some websites pick it as best option + perfectly match on AMD state DDR4-3600 CAS 16 is best for optimal best communicate between the CPU and memory.
p.S does that mean RGB will be too big, if they are there will be 100% overhand there

Looking really for the "better" right now thats why its a hard choice but since waiting on AMD to get last gen Graphics as well wishing the same for Memory to finish my build. Now most of the games I try are running like 40-50 on Ultra for the heavier games , but because video card is struggling and 100+ for more causal like Dota2. etc FPS

Yes 100% Im on AOC 244Mhz 0.5ms preordered waiting for release aswell + IM thinking to go AMD video
But another question I have 24gb of ram 2x 8 and 2x 4, thinking if not to remove the 2x4gbs one
What your advice would be?
