I'm thinking about buying AMD Ryzen 5 1600 CPU. When the CPUs overclocked, they can performs better with speedy RAM for ex 3200 Mhz.
In my country Gskill Flare X 3200 Mhz RAM is selling with 245 $ price tag.
The cheapest 2400 Mhz dual ranked 2x8 GB RAM kit is Crucial Ballistix Sport BLS2C8G4D240FSA with 114 $ price tag.
If I buy Crucial, will my performance hugely affected negatively? If the difference is 3-5 FPS then no problem but? (You maybe know, Ryzen 7 performs much better with 3200 Mhz RAM when overclocked. But what about Ryzen 5 ?)

Howdy, Just built a 1700 @ 3.8 1.32v - G.Skill Flare X 8gb @ 3200mhz on a Asus X370 Prime Pro and let me just say it is solid as a rock now after getting rid of the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 that would only run @ 2400 on my board. My cinebench R15 score went up over 100 points and BF1 CPU/GPU graph is now one merged line, nothing is bottlenecking anything now. Paired with a Samsung 960 Pro this machine is ready to work and play!
