Hey, i am building a pc with this components:
Ryzen 3 1200
Gigabyte Radeon RX 570
Gigabyte B450M S2H
Lc Power 600w
Kingston SSD
Seagate HDD
(last two are not that important at the moment)

So i am asking if you guys can recommend me some RAM kits, i think i don't need more than 8gb with this setup.
Thank you for your help <3

Not convinced on that PSU. If you haven't already bought it, I'm sure there will be a better option for similar money.

In terms of RAM, given there's only 2 DIMM slots on that board, I'd opt for 2x8GB now opposed to 2x4.
  1. You want dual channel
  2. If you want/need to upgrade to 16GB later, that means replacing your existing kit (not potentially adding to if you had 4 DIMM slots)
  3. Realistically, a 2x4GB kit is going to set you back ~$45 (+/-) vs a 2x8GB kit which can be had for ~$60.

In a perfect world, you'd want 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz @ CL15. Those don't come cheap though - and first Gen Ryzen chips can be picky in terms of memory regardless.
I'd opt for a 2x8GB, ~3000MHz @ CL16, and you may have to set your timings manually...
