so like basically, cl16 3200mhz is better than a cl15 3200mhz memory?

Actually the other way around.

Simply put, you want the frequency (Mhz) as high as possible and the latency as low as possible.

 

I mean, the difference between these two sets would be minimal, but I felt like I needed 'correct' that first.

if so, what's the best type of memory with the build of r5 3600, b450 or b550(just announced), with 16gb ram

3600Mhz CL16 is the best, 3600Mhz CL18 is the second best.

I would get it from G.Skill, they seem to have the best time with Ryzen 3000 + 3600Mhz support.

 

Any of these will work (This is 2x8GB, 3600Mhz, CL16 - CL18): https://pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#s=403600&Z=16384002&L=140,180&sort=price&page=1

This seems like the best option (if you don't care about RGB and stuff): https://pcpartpicker.com/product/n6RgXL/gskill-ripjaws-v-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c18d-16gvk

Can someone please explain to me what the differences of the CL(numbers) are? There's like CL12 13 14 15 16 etc. I'm planning to upgrade my pc and ram is one of them. I need infos about this. Thankss

CL = Cas Latency

The Mhz (frequency) and CL of the memory together make up the memory's true latency, or how quickly it can process things.

 

If you are adding memory, on top of the memory you already have; you should get the same memory (same frequency and latency).
