I have a ryzen 5 2600 and am looking at 2x8gb ddr4 ram sticks and was wondering which of those would give me the most bang for my buck? Prices right now would be $88.99, $92.99, and $124.99 respectively (they also have a listing for 3466 C16 for $127.99). I am looking to say under $100 but if it is worth buying the other ones then I would buy those.

Is the currency USD? There is a confirmed B-Dir kit of Viper Steel 4400mhz cl19 for around $110 usd if you are looking to manually underclock.

Newegg had some G.Skill 3200C14 b-dies for under $110 USD.  I'd look for those.  Though don't use their cheapest shipping option.  I did and my package got lost and now I have to wait another 10 days for them to refund my money.

I would stick to 3200 since that's the standard max for ryzen, although I think you can OC and get 3600 working sometimes, so up to you if you want to try that.

if you are in the US those prices don't look right, look at newegg instead. corsair ram is all overpriced compared to gskill btw, and worse. So it's just for the looks.

RGB, specific brand, specfic retailer and low height worsens value a lot when combined. I know you cant do much to height, but are you willing to give up the other conditions?

Is that on NewEgg business? I find all kinds of B-Die there.

If you buy from Newegg -- don't use their cheapest shipping option.  The first kit I ordered came just fine while the second kit got lost.  Apparently they came from different warehouses and each warehouse chooses how they ship.  The first kit came from UPS (only UPS) while the second kit went UPS to USPS and that hand-off seems to be where the second kit got lost.  Now Newegg is making me wait for their process to complete before I get a refund and the kit I ordered is also sold out.
