I'm Confused which RAM kit should i buy for Ryzen 3 1300x processor for decent gaming! Should i go for DDR4 2400MHz like majority of the people? Or should i go for higher 3000MHz+ like some people suggest and why?
 
3000+ MHz is recommended for maximum performance. The reason is because Ryzen's "infinity fabric" that interconnects the dies works very well with high speed RAM.

If your budget is dictating your choice, 2400MHz is not a bad option. Just make sure you pick a kit on your motherboard's QVL and you should be good to go.
 
Thanks mate...i thought mobo would support 3000Mhz out of the box, but no i dont wanna xmp it or set it manually. I'll go for 2666Mhz since its the max supported by CPU also and affordable. One last doubt.. wil it effect much if I'm buying 2666Mhz for gaming? What Problems could i possibly face?
 
Alright. 2666Mhz doesn't make that much difference according to that video n said its runs all the games butter smooth. I'll go for its n falls Within my budget too.
Now..which mobo should i go for? gigabyte Gaming 3 or Asus b350 prime plus? This is my first build.
