I need HELP choosing ram

[Harvind20]

I dont know much abt pc building so i thought someone here could help, im getting a Ryzen 3 3300X with a Biostar b550mh motherboard. I need to know if i can buy ddr4 3200mhz 2x8GB ram for this. Will it be compatible or is there a different ram i should get?

3200MHz - Good

3600MHz - Good (If you can find cheap, or same price as 3200MHz)

Anything above 3600MHz is here say there say, unless you can afford it.

 

I'm running this right now Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) - PCPartPicker Overclocked from 3200MHz to 3466MHz

 

If you don't want to, or not into overclocking, just get a kit of 3200MHz - 3600MHz with XMP and just roll with that. If you do overclock, make sure your MCLK and FCLK are the same for example, my Memory Clock is 1733 (x 2 = 3466) and FCLK is 1733 (Half of ram speed) Hope this helps! Good luck! 

 

P.S. what's the price on that mobo? not a big fan of Biostar, haven't used them since AM2+ never had luck with overclocking on them, but who am I to say, I am running an AORUS M and people think they VRMs are ass, but so far I am having good luck with OCing *shrug*

Im not planning to overclock, the biostar motherboard was the cheapest one i could find with a b550 chip since they have pcie gen 4 slots. That will future proof my motherboard. It was abt 70 dollars.
