Question Which would be the best memory for my build?

[RafeP]

After days of research and getting more and more confused, I think I've narrowed down the choices of memory for my new build:

Ryzen 7 3700X
ASRock B550 Taichi mobo

The finalists are:

• G.SKILL Trident Z Neo (For AMD Ryzen) Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) Model F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC
  • DDR4 3600
  • Timing 16-19-19-39
  • CAS Latency 16

• G.SKILL Trident Z Neo (For AMD Ryzen) Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) Model F4-3600C16D-32GTZN
  • DDR4 3600
  • Timing 16-16-16-36
  • CAS Latency 16

The price difference is about $65, but that's not really important to me. Neither is being able to get every last bit of performance out of the rig. I'm most interested in a relatively future proof build that doesn't need much, if any tweaking, to work well. I'd like to just put it together, turn it on, and have it work decently. So, which memory stick is most likely to be install frustration free? If there's no real difference, then I'll go with lower cost. Or is there another make/model that would be even better for my purposes? BTW, I'm not at all interested in RGB.

Thanks!

The 2nd ones are faster but unless your just running benchmarks their going to be very little difference at all.

Never heard of somebody trying to future proof memory except to buy more than is needed right now.

Thanks for the input. I'll go with the slightly less expensive sticks then as I do not think I'll be running benchmarks at all.

BTW, I meant I was trying to future proof the build for 4+ years, not just the memory.

Their no such thing whatever you buy today can be replaced within a year or less with something better.

You have no video card listed you know you must buy one to use with that processor.

Thanks. I know that the product lifecycles for technology are pretty short. But, if I don't really need improved performance, then I don't have to upgrade. So, I'm pretty focused on quality and durability when I choose components.

I do know that I need a video card. And a new monitor. I've narrowed my choices down for the video card to two and I'll be posting on the appropriate forum asking for advice.

Thanks.
