RAM Recommendations & GPU question

Hey guys! Fair warning: Total noob when it comes to PC building. 😕

 

I'm looking at two different RAMs for an upgrade:

 

G.Skill Trident Z Neo 16gb 2x8 3200mhz

Klevv Cras X 16gb 2x8 3600 Mhz

 

I'm using an MSI Mortar B450 motherboard and a Ryzen 5 2600, and currently with an 8GB 2666mhz RAM, RoG RX580 8GB as my main GPU. What's better when it comes to overall performance of the PC between the two RAMs?

 

Also, I'm using an interface where I have two monitors with two different GPUs. I have an RX 580 for my main display, and a GT 630 for my secondary -- both monitors have the same specs. Question here is does it matter if I use two different GPUs for my main and secondary display? Or should I take off the GT630 and just use my RX580 since it has two ports? Thanks a lot for your answers. I'd like to get some before I do any purchase.

Always post the timings. Clocks don't mean anything without the timings. 3600Mhz CL20 would actually be slower than 3200Mhz CL16, for example.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X · Cooler: Artic Liquid Freezer II 280 · Motherboard: MSI MEG X570 Unify · RAM: G.skill Ripjaws V 2x16GB 3600MHz CL16 (2Rx8) · Graphics Card: ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti TUF Gaming · Boot Drive: 500GB WD Black SN750 M.2 NVMe SSD · Game Drive: 2TB Crucial MX500 SATA SSD · PSU: Corsair White RM850x 850W 80+ Gold · Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow · Monitor: MSI Optix MAG342CQR 34” UWQHD 3440x1440 144Hz · Keyboard: Corsair K100 RGB Optical-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (OPX Switch) · Mouse: Corsair Ironclaw RGB Wireless Gaming Mouse

3600 is the better kit but you won’t get that running on a 2600. 
 

If you want ease of use get the 3200MHz kit, if you want a bit more performance get the 3600mhz kit and manually Down clock it to 3200mhz.
