cheap ryzen ram

[thegoogler]

hello, I am putting together a computer for my friend which is on a budget of about $1000 AUD and I want it to run any game in the future and wanted to build him a ryzen system, I have the CPU and motherboard but I don't know what kind of Ram to get, I am using a mini itx motherboard in a thermal take suppressor case. What do you guys think I should use??

Update the bios to the version that includes the AGESA 1.0.0.6 update for the best results.

I currently have Corsair LPX in my system and the CPU is running "average".

People often say to just buy the cheapest RAM possible for a system, but I've heard others say that Ryzen prefers one die type over another - if only I could remember those. (So hold what other people say above my own word.)

 

It looks like Ripjaws V series is the cheapest for your region at $190 for 2x8GB, but that's at 2133 speeds.

 for ryzen you want the flare x 3200mhz, cheaping out isn't worth it. It was on sale on newegg for 175.
