Question Confused on Asus ROG Crosshair VII memory

[finwizz]

Having asked / read a lot here, I am still confused / not sure on what the best combination will be.

I have decided on:

Asus ROG Crosshair VIII (wi-fi) motherboard
Ryzen 7 2700X Gen 2
Dark base Pro 900 Rev 2 case
Corsair RMx 750W PSU OR be quiet! - Straight Power 11 750 W 80+ Gold
Sapphire - Radeon RX 570 8 GB NITRO+ Video Card

I am confused on memory selection, having read various views on type/speed etc.

My broad needs are 8Gb x 2 3000Mhz (mainly for home video editing work) or go for 32Gb now to future proof.

Views and advise will be greatly appreciated.

Here are the QVLs for that motherboard.

Ideally you would want to use memory off the proper QVL list in the link I posted.

As far as 16 GB or 32....I am currently running 12 and 16 on two gaming machines and that's enough for me for now.....but if I was going to build a new machine I probably would go with 32 GB for future proofing.

Forget about those QVL, it will confuse you more. The RAM in QVL list is the RAM that been tested by motherboard manufacturer. They can't test all RAM in the market.

Sure - if one were not to rely on QVL, what other option is there? BTW I meant to say Crosshair VII and not VIII.
