G.SKILL 8GB KIT DDR4 3200MHz CL16 RipjawsV vs HyperX 8GB KIT DDR4 2666MHz CL15 Fury Black Series

Hi, I am currently buying new PC and can not decide between these two rams.

Is the 3200 mhz G.skill cl16 worth over 2666 mhz HyperX cl15? Price difference at my country is around 30 usd.

Here is the rest of build: https://www.alza.cz/nakupni-seznamy.htm?sharelist=7667686B686F697C6

It will be used primarily for sim racing (Assetto Corsa right now, maybe some other titles in future). Any advice on rest of the build are also welcome.

yes, ryzen system loves faster (capped around 3200, as it's quite a gamble beyond that speed)ram, single rank, dual channel kit.

also, you may want to get a b450 board as oppose to b350 board. things can get quite messy when your b350 boards is shipped with an ancient bios that doesn't support ryzen 2000 series.

Okay, thank you. I will go for the G.skill.

The PC would be put together by the shop, so they could deal with that I guess, but for example MSI B450 Tomahawk is not much more expensive - are there any benefits besides what you mentioned?

hardware tweaks and minor pcb trace revision.

VRM on b450/x470 has been improved. there are also hardware fixes that's not doable with BIOS update.
