Views on memory selection please

[devdeep]

At last, ready to order the PC parts except the memory which is causing a bit of confusion. I do not game but some video editing, browsing and so on. I need 32Gb (2 x 16Gb) of memory without breaking the bank! Ok I know I can do with 16Gb but memory prices are low and I will use 32Gb in future. Would prefer DDR4 3200. Budget is approx. $250 (location is UK). The kit is:

 

Asus crosshair VII

Ryzen 2700X

be Quiet dark base 900 pro Rev 2.

 

Will appreciate recommendations please.

This has CAS Latency of 16. Does this matter or should one try for , say, 14?

I keep on reading that 2700X performs at best with 3200Mhz. How good will the 3000 one you are suggesting please keeping in mind I need to do some video editing.

With 32GB of RAM you're not gonna see very much speed beyond 3200MHz.  The most you can hope for is lower timings.  So my opinion would be to buy these:

Unless you can find a dominator kit that isn't RGB.  Buy non-RGB if you can and don't care about RGB.  

 

Edit:

Wait . . . found some for a little less:

I should add that those dominator kits won't necessarily perform any better than the cheaper kits from other manufacturers.  I was under the impression there was a slight chance you'd get a b-die kit, but it doesn't appear to be the case.  They do look awesome though.
