I wouldn't call that a *minimum*... You do certainly want high-speed RAM with Ryzen, but 16 gigs is far from the bottom line. It's a good number, sure, but if it's the bottom-line that would imply that 32 is a good option, or that 8 is out of the question, which are both false.
 
GSkill units performs really good with Ryzen due to their Samsung B Die chip. The kit below matches the motherboard QVL list as well... https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/ROG_STRIX_B450_F_GAMING/Memory-QVL-For-AMD-Ryzen-2000-Series-Processors.pdf

Go for this...

FlareX are expensive and 3200Mhz. Ripjaws will be fine, I think.
