Need help choosing ram speeds

[Vinceavisado]

I have a 

Ryzen 3 2200g 

Aorus b450m 

2x4gb 2133mhz corsair vengeance

Vs550 corsair psu

Gtx1050ti

 

Thinking on what should i upgrade next. 

Should i go for 2x8gb 3200mhz? Or 2xgb 2400mhz some people say its not worth going for 3000 3200mhz. 

Or should i go for ryzen 5 2400g

Just remember. Ryzen favors ram speed.

So i should go foe 3200? Also is my board compatible with 3200?

Check your motherboard's QVL list (should be in the manufacturer's website). I wouldn't go higher than 3000-3200MHz as most of the time getting those to work in AMD setups can be quite difficult, especially with lower end CPUs. As long as you get  akit that is in your board's list, it should work perfectly.

 

A nice set of 2x8GB will be more than adequate and would migrate well when you choose to upgrade CPU or platform.

This is what was put on my motherboards description 

1. Support for DDR4 3200(O.C.)/2933/2667/2400/2133 MHz memory modules

Does this mean it will support 3200? Or it will. Support overclock to 3200hz.. 

So i shouls just get a 2400mhz one?

That's not what I'm talking about. On the support page there should be a memory QVL, that's the list you want to buy from. 

 

Example, mine can be found here: https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/Z390-AORUS-MASTER-rev-10#support-DL under support lists.

Ok. But that was still a question 

1. Support for DDR4 3200(O.C.)/2933/2667/2400/2133 MHz memory module

Does this mean my board compatibke with 3200mhz?

If it's a 3200MHz RAM set that is on the QVL, then yes, it should be perfectly compatible.  I'm fairly certain the issue will be the memory controller wanting to run that speed on the lower end chips.  I'm not familiar enough with Ryzen to really comment for sure, but I have heard a lot of them do not like RAM running at higher than ~3000MHz on DOCP/XMP settings, as in you would need more voltage than stock on the sticks and/or memory controller settings.
