Compatible RAM for Ryzen 5 1600 and Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3

[ScienceOfComputer]

I am building my first PC and having some trouble figuring out the correct RAM.
These are the parts I am using:
1. Ryzen 5 1600
2. NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB
3. Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3
4. Corsair 550M

So, on AMD's website, it says that the maximum frequency of RAM is 2667. So, I found this RAM to be the cheapest 2x8GB one in my local store (https://www.cyberport.de/gaming/gaming-komponenten/ballistix/pdp/2410-19p/16gb-2x8gb-ballistix-sport-lt-grau-ddr4-2666-cl16-16-18-18-ram-kit.html). I think it satisfies all conditions by AMD. Then, I went to Gigabyte's website for compatible RAM (http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-ab350-gaming3.pdf), and there are very limited number of RAM modules there, most of which are very expensive or not available. I want to know what to look for in RAM specs when buying RAM compatible with this system. Also, what is the best value 2x8GB RAM that is compatible with this system, preferably according to German prices and available in Germany?

The ballistix is absolutely fine for that build.

Its €10 cheaper on amazon.

Then why does Gigabyte not have it on its website? Why is there website's compatible RAM list so limited? Is this the best value?

^ just wildly out of date.

Crucial are an acrual manufacturer of ram under the micron brand.
They make ram for other companies,
If you look on the list then this

CRUCIAL 8GB 2Rx8 BLT8G4D26AFTA.16FAD DS Micron 16-17-17-36 1.2v v v v 2400

Is essentially the same stuff apart from the heat sinking.

As is the cirsair branded ram with micron.

CORSAIR 8GB 2Rx8 CMK32GX4M4A2666C16 ver 3.21 DS Micron 16-18-18-35 1.2v v v v v 2133
CORSAIR 8GB 2Rx8 CMK32GX4M4A2666C16B ver 3.21 DS Micron 16-18-18-35 1.2v v v v v 2133
CORSAIR 8GB 2Rx8 CMK32GX4M4A2666C16R ver 3.21 DS Micron 16-18-18-35 1.2v v v v v 2133
CORSAIR 8GB 2Rx8 CMK32GX4M4A2666C16W ver 3.21 DS Micron 16-18-18-35 1.2v v v v v 2133

The ballistix should be absolutely fine on that board, micron has decent compatibility with ryzen.
I use the ballistix myself on an asrock b350 board which also doesnt have it on the qvl list.

Is it the best priced ? From what ive searched yes it appears to be just that.

Also, will this one work: https://www.cyberport.de/gaming/gaming-komponenten/g-skill/pdp/2415-02w/16gb-2x8gb-g-skill-aegis-ddr4-3000-cl16-ram-speicher-kit.html
Does 3000 mean upto 3000 or only 3000? Because Ryzen 5 1600's max RAM frequency is 2667. Will it work?

 

[madmatt30]

Means up to 3000mhz

All ddr4 3000mhz ram has spd presets of 2133,2400,2666,(sometimes 2933), 3000.

Native it will likely run at 2133 or 2400, enabling xmp in bios should push it upto 2933mhz speed.

Ryzen & b350 doesnt obly support upto 2666mhz ram , rwcent bios uodates have allowed most sticks to run full speed right upto 3200mhz.

I would say the aegis is ok , its the same sticks as the ripjaw which is confirmed working fine.
