[SOLVED] Should i buy ryzen 5 1600x or 2600x?

[lukewallach2]

Hello.In my country the ryzen 5 1600x is about 50$ cheaper and comes with an rgb cooler.I use my pc mostly for gaming.
Should i buy r5 1600x and 16 gb ram 3000mhz or r5 2600x,8gb and later another 8gb?

if only those two options, go with 1600X, 0.3G Hz diff if cooler is similar. diff can be narrowed if the rgb cooler is better than stock. adding ram is hard later on as second stick may not work with first one.

Also, what vapour said is correct; You usually want to purchase and install your DIMMs in pairs.
