I'm putting together my first build but im having troubles choosing good ram thats actually compatible with my motherboard.
Im putting a Ryzen 5 3600 in a MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max.
The Ram module im considering is the Corsair Vengeance LPX (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) This is one of the most recommended kits i could find(for my price range), and many people state its compatible with ryzen and the majority of well known b450 boards, however its not listed on the compatibility list on MSI's website for my board, but the 3000mhz version is on there.
Im also considering G.Skill Trident Z memory, as 2 of the kits i looked at are on the actual compatibility list. The black silver/black white kits at 3200.(Not considering Ripjaw because the canadian pricing on those kits are just ridiculous right now)
The thing is the RGB variant thats on sale for the same price as the other 2 kits i listed on amazon right now (G.SKILL F4-3200C16D-16GTZR) but it isn't on the compatibility list so i dont know if the MSI list just doesn't actually state every single compatible kit of ram because i've seen that kit used in a ryzen build (with a tomahawk motherboard).
Im sure this sounds pretty dumb for the people with a lot of knowledge, but the inconsistencies between online recommendations and the compatibility list has got me worried that i'll buy a kit, pop it in just for it not to work and have to send it back.
Basically im just looking for recommendations for good price to performance ram that(preferably 3200-3600) you know for sure is compatible with the motherboard(preferably through amazon as i get free shipping)
