I am building my new PC right now and i think i am going to use this motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard.

This is my first PC so i am not really sure what i need to look for or so.

My first question is, what RAM should i use on this Motherboard? 16gb for sure.

2x8GB 3600Mhz CL18/CL16.

Something like this for example: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/n6RgXL/gskill-ripjaws-v-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c18d-16gvk

 

Depends on if you care about RGB and such.

these one not available in austria i think :(

i thought about this one from corsair:

https://www.amazon.de/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Performance-Arbeitsspeicher/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=ram%2B16gb%2B3200Mhz&qid=1587640039&s=computers&sr=1-3&th=1

 

Is there a big difference between 3200 and 3600 Mhz?

looks good. see if you can find the msi b450m mortar max instead. it's usually cheaper and has 2 m.2 slots.

any 3200/3600c16 2x8gb ram. a corsair txm or rmx or even a cx would be ok. 550w are enough.
