So I am looking into building a PC, and was wondering which one of these would go best with my build, and if they are both compatible. Here's my motherboard.
MSI B250M PRO-VD Micro ATX LGA1151
The Corsair one is slightly cheaper and I'm on a budget, so feedback is appreciated.
Here they are:
HyperX
Corsair

Also, this will be my first PC I have ever built, so if you have any tips for a console scrub moving to PC, feel free to let me know. If you're interested, here are my full specs.

CPU: Intel - Pentium G4560 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI - B250M PRO-VD Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Storage: Kingston - SSDNow UV400 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1050 2GB ACX 2.0 Video Card
Case: Thermaltake - Versa H15 MicroATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA - 430W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

Thanks for the help!

You don't have any RAM listed. 16GB of DDR4 is recommended but you can get by with 8GB. Also the GTX1050 isn't much of a step up from console. If it's possible for your budget get yourself a RX570 as its much faster than the 1050 and is still fairly cheap as it'll last you longer with todays games. A general rule of thumb for video cards is get as much V RAM on the version of card you're buying as possible as todays textures require a lot of RAM.

I apologize, I was rushed to get this post up on the forums. I have attached the links to both types of memory to the original post. Thank you!

 


I'd go for the Corsair kit. 2400Mhz which is faster than the HyperX link you gave which was 2133Mhz. 8GB will be fine to start with but I'd recommend saving up for another 8GB stick in the near future as most games recommend 8GB min now and some are starting to recommend 16 GB of RAM.
