Question What's the best cheapest compatible memory 2 x 8gb 3200mhz for MSI x470 gaming plus motherboard?

[VennoxHD]

Hi all! New here. See alot of useful threads but can't quite put my finger on what I need.

I have a Ryzen 7 2700x. MSI X470 gaming plus motherboard, well on its way. Yes its a budget build. Hoping for small overclock. 4.0-4.2 I'm happy with.
Windows 10 Pro 64bit
600w evga 80+ bronze psu
2 x 2tb seagate barracuda 7200rpm drives s I have 2 good ones laying about.

Looking for a budget decent GPU just to play games with kids like fortnite and perhaps blackops 4.

Mainly using the pc for music production, small graphic design and video editing.

Can someone help me with exact memory needed? Maybe a corsair Vengeance type 3200mhz?

And also maybe a graphics card that could play those games at max, 1080p 60fps?

Would be greatful of any help.

😊

Cheapest set matching your desired spec listed on the QVL (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/X470-GAMING-PLUS)

https://www.newegg.com/hyperx-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820104791

The CAS latency is a bit high on that set though (C18)

Next up, a bit faster:

Thank you. The link said item could not be found though?

I found this regarding the first reply? Is this better?

That set should work, albeit it's slower than your original intent of 3200MHz.

Are you located in the UK? What other sites can you purchase from?

Im in UK yes, scan.co.uk, novatech..co.uk, overclockers.co.uk, pcworld.co.uk, amazon.co.uk.

Ah silly me didn't realise the clock being lower in those.

I built pc's years ago and realising things are a little different now lol.

So greatly appreciate help and support.

Would 3000mhz be OK and clock to 3200 or better to just get the 3200mhz?

 

[SchizTech]

Well frequency and CAS work in concert to 3200/C16 is more or less equivalent to 3000/C15

Ahh is see. That's not a bad price either? Is that compatible with the msi x470 gaming plus?

 

[SchizTech]

It's listed on the QVL, which means it's certified by MSI. RAM not listed should still work but seeing it listed on the compatibility list means it's been tested to run at the rated specs.

Also keep in mind any kit will run at the default MOBO/CPU speed (in this case, 2144) unless XMP (Intel system) or the AMD equivalent (AMP) is enabled in the BIOS
