Buy Corsair Vengance LPX. Higher clocked memory is worth it for Ryzen.

maybe you should wait until all your exams are finished ;)

 

just check the QVL for the motherboard, and find ones that passed 3200mhz. or buy Ryzen-certified G. skill memory (you will pay a premium)

Personally I would buy a single 8 GB stick since with 2 4GB sticks you don't have any room for further expansion after getting additional 2 sticks. 4x4 will work but on some ryzen motherboards this configuration isn't ideal I think.

it's the amount of RAM for that memory kit. 

Yeah, but my doubt is if its the amount of Total RAM or the amount of RAM per Kit

Actually, I would go with the cheapest 3000/3200. Or with 8GB that great value 2800 kit. Team/G Skill/Corsair/Kingston would be acceptable.

The best I can get in Portugal (as it doesnt sell in any major store corsair 3200Mhz) its 8 gb (4X2) 3000Mhz what do you guys think of that?

 

You probably wont understand anything but, the image is there + the title https://www.globaldata.pt/shop/corsair/corsair-kit-8gb-ddr4-3000mhz-vengeance-lpx-red-2-x-4gb.html
