Need help pairing up 16gb memory and a decent motherboard for Ryzen 5

[onebrandon]

As the title states, having trouble pairing memory and a motherboard. This will be my first build and I have chose the Ryzen 5 1600 as my processor. Anyone have any suggestions as to what motherboard and memory I should get? Preferrably specifics so they are compatible?

you need motherboard with at least B350 chipset for future overclocking
asrock AB350 pro4 is decent for the price .
for memory: look for the highest possible frequency and lowest latency you can find for a good price :
ideally 3000/3200 Mhz with cl14/cl15 latency . 2x8gb ddr4 kit is enough for gaming

Or the B350 Fatal1ty if you have a bit more money to spend

I would say MSI - B350 PC MATE ATX AM4 Motherboard or a b-350 tomahawk, for ram i would go with G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory you can go wrong with ripjaw this is if you are only a budget. Hope I helped you
