I keep seeing this kit for sale for $300....which is about $70 - $100 less than competitors. Is it any good? I would think its just some of 'last seasons' RAM?

EDIT: I updated the price comparison numbers I said, they were innaccurate

Yes it's decent memory...Good deal.

Would you say I should get that? Or go for a single 16GB stick of better RAM (around $180 or $200) and buy a second stick when my budget allows? I plan to use it on a Ryzen 1700x or 1800x with a ROG STRIX B350-I Mobo.

It's worth it for sure , but Ryzen is real picky with memory and getting them to run at FULL Spec.
When adding at a later time even if identical there can be issues.

Read this before any Ryzen Memory purchase.

Wow, I had heard a few mentions in reviews about issues with Ryzen's but had no idea about that article. Thank you for the info, I will more than likely save the heartache and go with something off their list.
