[SOLVED] RX 570 with 1200 + 16GB vs 1600 + 8GB

[nathaphon.stikkelorum]

So getting a new pc and I would want to put my budget around 650-700.

Right now im deciding on
Ryzen 3 1200 - €85
A320 - €55
2× 8GB 2666Mhz - €120
That would be €260

Or
Ryzen 5 1600 - €155
B350 - €75
1× 8GB 2666Mhz - €60
Total of €290

The rest is
CM MB 5 Lite RGB - €60
CX450M - €55
BX500 120GB - €25
2TB HDD - €60
RX 570 4GB - €185
Total of €385

So should I choose the 1200 + 16GB for €645
Or the 1600 + 8GB for €675

+LED RGB - €12 for 150cm

Or should I get 1200 + 16GB + B350 and oc it?

I mostly play R6S at 1080P and I don't think I wil not do any editing and I dont want to waste money on thing I dont need.

What do you think is better or do you have any other suggestions? every comment wil take into consideration.

Normally, I'd say 1600 + 8GB in this instance, but 1x8GB (single channel) and 2666MHz is going to hurt performance.

In an ideal world, opt for the 1600, B350 board and 2x8GB 3000MHz.
If budget doesn't work, consider 2x4GB 3000MHz.

2×4GB @ 3Ghz is 80 Euro

I do plan to get another dimm for the R5 1600(if I choose it) later this month.

I would highly recommend holding off until you can buy the parts you need - especially RAM with Ryzen.

Mixing & matching DIMMs (even the same brand, model, speed & timings) can be hit & miss.
