My brain is friend trying to understand what RAM to get for my new PC.
I will be getting the Ryzen 2700x CPU and probably the and the Aorus X470 Gaming 7 AC Wifi.
Will also be getting the MSI RTX 2080 Ti 11GB Gaming X Trio.
Now my problem is what RAM to get. There are so many different messages around that it has fried my brain. Motherboard compatibility lists don't have all RAM listed on them. Certain RAM for certain CPUs. It has all got the best of me which is why I am here literally begging for help.
So here is what I am looking for.
I would prefer RGB RAM as my case and fans and motherboard and AIO will have it.
Ideally for looks I want all 4 RAM sockets filled.
I had been looking at 2 packs of CMW16GX4M2C3200C16W. This RAM doesn't appear on any X470 compatibility list though. That RAM is also dual channel.
Was also looking at CMW32GX4M4C3200C16W is quad channel, 4 sticks of 8gig RAM. Will this work also in that motherboard?
From what I did manage to pick up is that the Ryzen 2700x works better with 2 16gig sticks that say 4 8gig sticks which is why CMW32GX4M2C3200C16W is a last resort option.
Sorry for the wall of text but I really need help and advice on this. Will any of the above RAM work with the motherboard and CPU? Is quad channel RAM really that or just text on the package?
BIG THANKS in advance!!!!
