and i was thinking about

• AMD RYZEN 5 2600 6-Core 3.4GHz
• Gigabyte B450M GAMING
• ADATA XPG 8G DDR4 (1X8) 2400 CL16 1.2V -OR- Crucail Ballistix 8G DDR4 2666Mhz

Faster RAM, two sticks, preferably 16GB, can you wait a few (4-5) months for the 3000 series?

It's kinda hard as I need the pc asap
What's your opinion for the components and what do you think about the ram which one should i pick

It'll be much much better than your FX. Ryzen loves fast ram, so get up to 3200 if you can, 2 sticks will give you dual channel. Your board is 400 series with is good as it should be able to swap to a 3000.

ok thanks for your help
so now i am thinking about
XPG SPECTRIX D80 8GB DDR4 3000 CL16
Vengeance LPX 8GB (1 X 8GB) DDR4 3000MHz C16 V1.2 (a little cheaper)
now i'm trying to have the highest bus for the ram as you said so what do you think

Instead of getting faster RAM, try to get dual channel ram, if you don't plan to upgrade in the near future.
Two sticks of 2400MHz ram are faster than one stick of 3000MHz(

I'd settle for 2666MHz 2x4GB.

No I am planning to buy another ram in the near future

That's not a good idea, ram from different packets (same model) may not even work well together. You are creating a problem for yourself down the line.

The topic creator also your budget should mayhaps include a fresh PSU... That's most likely to give in to being 7 years old.
