Don't know what ram to get for my build

[FalconR8]

Hi!

 

I'm new into the pc building world and I would appreciate some help with choosing what ram suits best for my build. I'm thinking about getting 8gb of ddr4 at 2666Mhz, but the problem is that I don't which manufacturer I should buy them from so it suits both my CPU and motherboard.

My CPU is Ryzen 5 1600 and my motherboard is Asus rog strix b350-F Gaming.

 

Thanks in advance.

I recommend Corsair Vengeance LPX, it's overclock-ready if you need it for Ryzen. You could also go others such as HyperX Fury or G.Skill Ripjaws.

Using 2400MHz for my 1300X currently, but Ryzen benefits from higher clock speeds. 3000MHz base would probably be good to buy. I personally like HyperX Fury the most, but as stated by @MiNy, Cosair Vengeance is good as well (usually a bit pricier though)

Thanks for your reply! I searched for the type of ram you suggested and found 1x8gb and 2x4gb model. Which one shall I get for best performance?

Thank you for your reply. But I won't be able to get ram with a higher clock speed than 2666MHz due to my narrow budget.

It depends what you do. If you go 2x4, it means you'll have 8GB across 2 slots already as opposed to going 8GB for a single slot. Your call on this one.

That speed will be fine! And you can overclock the RAM after you get it without any worries as well  I haven't even OC'd my 2400 and it's doing great (just been too lazy to config the settings)
