Yeah, though a 1600 would be fine, right? Though if the OP already has a build with DDR4, he'll have extra RAM.

Either this or @deXxterlab97's 1700 and 8GB of memory.

Nope. I can game, stream, and watch the stream with 8gb. And it's still pretty smooth. 1080p btw. Although 16 is better.

Doesn't Ryzen really like faster memory? There are G-Skill Ripjaws (2666MHz) for 1$ extra, or for 5$ extra the G-Skill Ripjaws (3000 MHz). Maybe a good idea? Both would still be within the Budget.

Just the cheapest name-brand RAM I could find. Yeah, my bad. Probably a better idea to go with faster RAM.
