A little help finding the right RAM for my new build.

holybeef3477

So i have an I3 12100f and a PRO B660M-P DDR4 msi MOBO on the way, Looking through the compatible ram on their website and not really sure what i should go as the list is kind of hard to understand. My question i guess is what is a good 16gb kit for this setup and will any ddr4 3200 16gb kit work or do i need some sort of specific ram. Sorry just want to be safe.

The cheapest available 320 cl16 will do, dont bother paying more for branding as the ics will be the same as any other 3200 cl16 bin ram aka random ics that range from garbage (cdie) to half decent (djr)

this is the cheapest decent 16gb kit I could find on Amazon right now https://pcpartpicker.com/product/P4FKHx/silicon-power-sp016gxlzu320bdaj5-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-cl16-memory-sp016gxlzu320bdaj5

 

eBay doesn’t have great prices for DDR4 at the moment

yep! All DDR4 UDIMMS (the type of RAM this is) will be compatible with your CPU and motherboard

Don't use ebay. DDR4 is dirt cheap these days.

The kit listed above is solid enough and a good price.

If you're asking for brand recommendations, that's just a preference thing. I have always gone with G. Skill Ripjaws, myself.
