What's the difference between these?

Go to solution Solved by Eigenvektor,

CMSX16GX4M2A3000C18 - 3000 MT/s, CL 18-20-20-38 (the one from Scan)

‎CMSX16GX4M2A2933C19 - 2933 MT/s, CL 19-19-19-47 (the one from Amazon)

 

The first one is slightly faster and has slightly lower latency. I suppose both of these command a premium even though it's not that much better.

Budget (including currency): £500 ish

Country: United Kingdom 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming (light-medium), Photoshop, discord calls, music recording, viewing twitch. 

Other details I'm currently using a Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air with a i5- 8250u and an mx150 GPU. my setup right now is my laptop connected to a monitor and hub for peripherals. lately its struggling with a discord video call and a light game or even watching twitch at the same time. I'm looking to buy an AMD NUC as a stop gap solution to use for up to a year before I can afford an actual pc. I'm just looking to put together something faster than what I have now as cheaply as possible.

 

The base I'm looking to buy is the ASUS Mini PC PN50 BBR048MD (£310) from https://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-barebone-mini-pc-pn50-bbr048md-amd-ryzen-5-4500u-ddr4-displayport-14-ax-wifi-gbe-m2-pcie-25-sat

 

The main problem I'm having is deciding on the RAM to put in the machine. I've found two very similar models but they're at different price points:

Corsair Vengeance Performance SODIMM 16GB DDR4 3000MHz (£93.50) from https://www.scan.co.uk/products/16gb-2x8gb-corsair-ddr4-so-dimm-vengeance-performance-pc4-24000-3000-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-18-20-20

 

Corsair Vengeance SODIMM 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2933MHz (£77.50) from https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Vengeance-Unbuffered-Generation-notebooks/dp/B08BLT24NZ/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Corsair+Vengeance+SODIMM+16GB+(2x8GB)&qid=1625286100&sr=8-3

 

They seem to be running at similar speeds but the set from amazon seems suspiciously cheap, can anyone tell me if there is a big difference I'm missing, and would one be more suitable than the other? 

 

Thank You for taking the time to read my post and for any input on my problem!
