Ram upgrade question

[serpentinedrummer]

Hey guys, just wanted to check since I'm still pretty new with builds and stuff.
Upgrading to 16gb ram from 8.
Would this be a good kit for my setup, like compatible and everything?

Radeon Rx 580

Should certainly be compatible, yes- BUT, Ryzen benefits quite heavily from faster speeds.

If at all possible, try to pick up a 2x8GB kit in the ~3000MHz range.

For the money, this kit should be just as compatibility - but hits 3000MHz.

While memory compatibility has improved dramatically since the initial Ryzen launch, it's still a good idea to consult the QVL for your motherboard and ensure a given kit has been tested/verified to work at the desired speed on your motherboard.
