[SOLVED] Need Help Picking out RAM

[BlameGhost]

I'm building my PC next month but I don't know what kit of RAM to get I was recommended this on Reddit but I have seen people using TeamGroup but I'm suspicious about it because it's so cheap. I know Ryzen works best with high-speed RAM but is it really worth the extra $30 for 200mhz I was also thinking about getting this kit of Flare X it says made for Ryzen but I don't think that means anything. I have seen the QVL for my MOBO but all the 3000mhz and 3200mhz kits are ones that cost upwards of $160 so it's out of the question all help is appreciated.

QVL is useless, ignore it.

For Ryzen, anything below 2933mhz is pointless. CPU performance on Ryzen is a direct reflection of the memory speed and latency, so yes, paying a little more for memory that is 3000-3200mhz is worth it. Do not go with a low speed kit that is less than 2933mhz or you'll end up wondering why your brand new system lags so badly.

There are plenty of kits that will work for much less than 160 dollars.

I'd recommend these:

both as budget options. Obviously there are better options that cost more, but either of these sets should be fine. Team memory, I'd stick to models that are 3000-3200mhz and have a CAS 14 latency, meaning they are equipped with Samsung B-die memory chips and are high quality. The rest, is hit or miss.

If you want to go with 3200mhz sticks, these would work fine as well and will have a profile already fully designed to play nice with Ryzen.
