memory suggestions

[Jcoyle]

Budget (including currency):  820

Country:  uk

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: games, workloads some video editing  

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 
 

currently deciding on the last parts before purchasing and having a problem finding ram that isnt breaking the bank and that will work with the coolers over hang
was going to go for gskill ripjawsV 32gb 
but the shipping is like a week and was trying to get it all set up over the weekend with the time ill have free 
any ideas ?

You can move the second fan on the NH-D15 up, so it's not totally necessary to go for a very low-profile kit of memory. The Ripjaws V should fit fine.

Go for a 3600MHz CL16 kit if you just want to enable XMP and be done with it, or go for a 3200MHz CL14 Samsung B-die kit if you're looking to tinker a little bit. You should be able to get that to 3600MHz without doing much to the timings, with just a small voltage bump.

 

Also, at that price point I'd rather go for the B550 Tomahawk, instead of the TUF X570-Plus. I'd suggest you consider that as well.

dont you have more trade offs with the b550 boards compared the the x570 ? plus the both are the same price at the moment i feel id lose more going toward the b550 

so the ripjaws i seen was great just time scale of the ram getitng to me would put the build back longer when im looking to get it going now ideally

Unless for some reason you need PCIe 4.0 lanes from the chipset, then no, you're really not losing a whole lot by going with B550.

Also, the B550 Tomahawk actually has even better power delivery than the TUF X570.

didnt know it had better power delivery may be a better choice on that point 

considering pcie4.0 isnt a factor for me at the moment 

would crucial ballistix 3600mhz cl16 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083VNMP87?tag=pcp0f-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1 work fine in terms of timings and such ?

That kit looks like a solid choice.
