I am getting a new motherboard
(ASRock AB350M Socket AM4 AMD B350 DDR4 SATA3&USB3.0 M.2 MicroATX Motherboard)

A new CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 1600X)

And i need to get new DDR4 RAM, i have gotten options from a few people but would anyone be able to provide me with an UK link (preferrably Amazon) of RAM that is appropriate for the CPU and board that is currently in stock.

Thanks

With Ryzen, aim for Dual-Channel, and speeds ~3000MHz unless you find a great deal on higher (beyond 3000MHz there's definitely diminishing returns at normal prices)

What's the intended use case for the system? Minimum 8GB (2x4GB) for gaming.... although 16GB would be ideal. For editing etc, you may benefit from even more.

Unfortunately, support is short right now, so lots of "temporarily out of stock".

You're looking >100GBP for in stock 2x4GB DDR4 of appropriate speeds.
At least with a 2x8GB kit, there is availability.... and (somewhat) reasonable-ish pricing.

2x8GB 2800MHz G.Skill kit @ 161.71

2x8GB 3000MHz Corsair @ 180.94...

Still ridiculously over-priced, but that's the way it is at the moment.
