[SOLVED] Upgrading my RAM, but not to sure

[Mahapadma]

I was thinking on doing an upgrade to my computer, I have a kit of Hyperx Predator DDR4 2x8 3200mhz, so I have 16 gb, I want to have more RAM at 3200 frequency, I don't know too much about building pc just basic stuff.

My specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 2700x
Hyperx Predator DDR4 2x8 3200mhz
ASRock B450M Steel Legend

At some point I want to use all the slots and make it to 64GB, at the same time I want to run it at 3200mhz, I've been reading that the official supported frequency is 2933mhz if all slots are filled, so I don't know if I can make it to run at 3200mhz and this the reason I'm still not buying a 3200mhz kit.

I'm thinking on getting 32gb first (2x16) and later on add another kit.I’m thinking on getting the Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 2x16 3200mhz
I've read that I have to be careful and I have to get the same RAM kit.

So my question is.
What could be the kit to go if I want to make it to 64gb of RAM? Considering my specs, compatibility with the motherboard and if I can make it to 3200mhz or should I buy the kit of 64gb RAM at another frequency (since it says 2933mhz is the frequency with all slots filled)
Is it possible to run more 3200mhz? With all slots filled?

Do you actually have any use for that much RAM? What is the system being used for? As far as current games go, 16GB is plenty for the time being, and adding more isn't likely to improve performance to any noticeable degree. Unless you are regularly performing tasks that can exceed your RAM, such as editing high-resolution video for example, you probably won't notice any benefit from adding more. Perhaps we'll see some next-generation games wanting more than 16GB within the next few years, but I find it unlikely that games and most common applications will make use of more than 32GB within the usable life of the system.

I'm planning on adding 64GB in the future, probably in two years, right now I'm starting with 32 GB.

I built my pc for gaming and for work (photoshop, illustrator, indesign, video editing, 3D) which I normally use 3 of them at the same time.

So for now I'm just sticking to 32GB.

From what I have learned from my own testings and from other peoples successes, 2x8GB 3200MT/s works fine with Ryzen 2000, but once you move to a dual rank configuration (2x16GB/4x8GB/4x16GB), you have a low chance of running faster than 3000MT/s. It takes a lot of tweaking to get dual rank 3200MT/s to work on Ryzen 2000 CPUs and that is usually only with 2x16 or 4x8GB.

You also have a reduced chance of getting 4x16GB to run faster than 2800MT/s and will likely be stuck at 2666. The only way to know if it will work is to try it. You might have got a winner in the silicon lottery with the memory controller on your 2700X. Your motherboard may be another matter, and could be the weak point in getting 2933-3000MT/s stable with 4x16GB.
