Best Ryzen 3 2200g RAM kit?

[omarehab2002]

Hey guys, I was looking for a good 2×4GB RAM kit to pair with my Ryzen 2200g. I hope it runs at speeds of 2933+ And can be overclocked.
Any suggestions? It would be great if it's between 75$-90$ max. I've seen alot but I can't really decide what to buy.

The best value speed should be about 3200MHz CL16
The problem is, I do not think you will get any 8GB kits for USD75-90 that easy.
e.g The G.Skill Ripjaw V 3200MHz CL16 2x4GB should be around USD90-110...at least here where I live
Look on several stores, perhaps you are lucky to find such kits for max USD90

MERGED QUESTION
Question from omarehab2002 : "RAM Choice for ryzen 3 2200g"

Out of these, which us more suitable to use for a ryzen 3 2200g build?

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz (PC4 21300) C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2A2666C16)

Patriot Viper Elite Series DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 2666MHz PC4-21300 Dual Memory Kit (Black/Grey)
Both are at a price of about 140$ but which is the better one? And can either of them be overclocked?

What motherboard do you have? You really should look for RAM that is on your motherboard's QVL. Ryzen has some RAM compatibility issues, and it you want to guarantee that it will work, it needs to be on the QVL.

With that being said, I would not go with either of those for the 2200g. Especially if you are using the integrated graphics. The iGPU will use memory bandwidth, so in order to get the best performance, you really should look for RAM that is rated for 3200mhz. As for overclocking, you chipset will determine if it can overclock. So as long as you have a b/x 350/450/370/470 board you will be fine.

Additionally, I don't know if pairing 16gb is necessary for a 2200g. You would get better performance by dropping to 8gb (2x4gb) and using the money saved by moving up to a 2400g.

Well I was going to use a B450 or an X470 motherboard can't decide yet.
So I was hoping to get a relatively cheap 2400mhz ram and oc it

You are not going to be able to buy 2400mhz RAM and get a stable overclock past 2400mhz. RAM is tested pretty heavy these days. This is why they are rated for their overclock. A 3200mhz stick of RAM is the overclocked speed. The 3200mhz will run at native 2666mhz, then you will have to overclock it to 3200mhz.

Go with a b450 board. You don't need a x470 board for a 2200g. Save the money and put it on something else.

Can you recommend a good b450 board? That has alot of features and Rgb and stuff

 

[feelinfroggy777]

I like the b450 Tomahawk. Don't know about the RGB, but it is a decent board. If I were you though, I would look at Asrick b450 Pro4. I don't think it has rgb, but it is a good bit cheaper than the Tomahawk. I think you should save money in some areas to get you better performance. While the 2200g can game, it cant game very much and I would say spend less on a motherboard and RGB and more on a better CPU or GPU.

What is your budget and location?

 

[omarehab2002]

I currently live in the middle east and will have to order everything from either newegg or amazon. My budget is around 500$
I found the Team Vulcan C16 RAM 16GB for around 140$, might go for that. However I had a question, is it better to go for a 4x4GB kit or a 2x8GB Kit?

 

[feelinfroggy777]

No, you just want two sticks of RAM. A stick kit wont give you any more performance, but it will costs more and will put more stress on the memory controller. For a 2200g, I would stick with just 8gb of RAM. You are going to be limited by the graphics much more than you will with the RAM. So get a 2x4gb kit of RAM and get a 2400g.

Apart from the RAM size, is it better to get 4 sticks or 2 ?

2 sticks.
