RGB RAM

[Inversion]

I'm upgrading my system this Christmas to the Ryzen 5 1600 which I've bought already but need DDR4 RAM and I'd like to get some an RGB Kit. Amazon UK sees to be completely out of stock of the G.Skill Trident Z RGB kits and I've found them no cheaper than £195 elsewhere. Corsair's Vengence RGB kit is about £25 cheaper. Should I just go for the Vengence RGB? Does it look as good in a system bearing in mind I'm Air-Cooling with the Arctic Freezer 33 eSports Edition in Black and White inside a White case.

Personally I whould just get normal ram...

But if I wanted igb ram I whould have gotten the trident z. It has individualy addressable LEDs so you can do cool effects and shit

Personally I'd get the G.Skill, if you're getting RGB get the better one

I just pulled the trigger on some TridentZ RGB last night. I've been a G.Skill user for over a decade, and their stuff just works. 

 

In the two links you provided, you've shown two different speeds of RAM, so that could be part of your large price jump. Amazon.co.uk has the Corsair 3200 CL16 at 260£ where the TridentZ 3200 CL16 is 220£. Granted, I don't know any other UK sites, but if you can find matching speeds to compare prices with, I'd definitely go with the G.skill.

I'd just gone with the cheapest kist I could find. I don't wanna go lower then 3000MHz but I'll not say no to 3200 if it's cheaper. I really wanna pay less than £200 but get on the RGB bandwagon with a good kit. Will admit I really like the G.Skill stuff but I hate RAM pricing right now.
