I need some help...... 

I want to buy G.Skill 16 GB DDR4-3200 Kit memory, but there is no diffrence in two choices but GVKB and GVGB(see links). I don't know which is better for the build I am doing and would like some help, I am doing an AMD build with the following parts:
ASUS PRIME X570-P, socket AM4 moederbord

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X socket AM4 processor

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT GAMING OC 8G (willl most likely use this graphics card).

This is just a random guess but I think they are made by different company's but I could be wrong. I do not think you would get a big performance difference between the two.  

They are both ripjaws so I don't think that's likely but thank you for thinking with me!

do you knokw the diffrence betweeen the GVKB and GVGB?

I got this answer from another website :

 

Actually, they are not the same, AND there is some kind of discrepancy or they changed IC and design but reused the same model number at some point, because as you can see below the 16GVKB suffix matches two different modules, one of which has dual rank double sided Samsung D-die ICs and the other, which has the exact same model number, uses 8GB single rank single sided Hynix ICs.

The other module, the GVGB, uses 4GB Samsung dual rank double sided E-dies. Clearly, none of these are the same although they might have some similar specifications. Actually, the only thing they seem to have in common is that they are all 3200mhz CL16 modules from what I can see.

 

If it helps

If it helps 

it for sure helps, do you by any chance know if either fit in the motherboard in combination with the cpu and gpu?

Both will fit in the motherboard along with the CPU and GPU. As for performance there wont be much of a significant difference other than the normal percent error that happens in similar RAM Modules. 

Earlier in the DDR2 era some RAM Modules were not compatible with Intel while working fine on AMD and the other way around, but anything DDR4 would be compatible with AMD based CPUs.
