Recommendations for 2x8gb Memory for X470

[Lumpus]

AMD 2600X processor build, so I'm thinking I'm going to go with an ASUS x470 board, probably the ASUS ROG Strix, or something similar and now I'm thinking about DDR4 memory - probably 3200's. G.Skill seems to have a hundred different variations - so now I'm confused... any recommendations???

Not same! 2400 vs 3200

Flare is interesting stuff but essentially identical now to TridentZ. For early X370 boards it was a bit of an insurance policy. I'm not sure that still applies for X470... now that Ryzen is more mature. I've Watchlisted it at NewEgg and if the price comes down close to the TridentZ I'll get it. Otherwise, yep definitely -3200 speed. Leaning towards the RGB flavor, but that's not critical to me:

Supposedly G.Skill has some Sniper memory coming out that's optimized for x470... but I haven't seen any prices yet. Probably overpriced...
