Which RAM to choose

[Cvijaan]

Hi,

I am bit confused with choosing right RAM since i am a relative newbie in PC build and i am not very sure what benefits i have with certain RAM,

PC will mainly be used for productivity (mostly video and photo edits), i am on budget so i am looking for 16 gigs of memory.

 

Other components are

RX 580

R5 2600x

1Tb Seagate HDD and 120Gb SSD

MSI A320M-A-PRO-MAX

 

I have two options right now

Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR4 2666MHz

Patriot Viper Steel 8GB DDR4 3000MHz

i have just one simple question for you more expirienced guys.What woud be a better choice paired with my CPU?

I dont plan on any overclocking

Even a cheap B450 motherboard would be better, you would be able to overclock the ram if XMP didn't work. A320 motherboards are hard to recommend for a gaming PC.

 

Typically, DDR4 2800 and up has notable be benefits to performance, so get 2x8GB DDR4 3000 if that's what you were looking at.

This a320m costed me let me just convert....69,21

And b450 is like 110,74

So right now in my country its notable difference since as i said i am on tight budget,i know it might not seem like a huge difference but honestly for US citizen maybe,for somone from my country..yes
