Question about ram speeds

[Premoz1]

Some people recommended me atleast 3000mhz ram because I got ryzen 5 1600, but I checked and all AM4 motherboards support max ram speed 2933... So does that mean that I cant get 3000mhz ram? Check out pic below..

3000Mhz shouldn't have a problem with that motherboard as it's only a difference of <70Mhz. 

 

 

-Moved to CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory-

That's the highest officially supported speed but you can actually run much faster RAM but it might or might not work (mostly will, but check motherboard compatibility first in any case). I'm running DDR4 3200 on a B350 board just fine

Which board are you specifically looking at, from what it's saying there the board can support memory that's over the nominal 2400Mhz just overclocked.

Wait, here you go. My pc build. Say if its good for 1080p gaming

And yeah, about gpu, I didnt know which brand to choose, so I chose Gigabyte because it was cheapest. Does it even matter much which one I choose? Does it affect overclocking?

For brands there aren't too many difference the main thing to look at is the clock speed and memory speeds out of the box as that will be what mainly varies between different units if it for example came overclocked from the factory. As for the 580 that is a good mid range card for 1080p gaming, it just depends on the game and applications you want to run.

Not going to critique your build Premoz, but according to your motherboards QVL at least 1 3466 MHZ kit was tested and found to be fully supported by MSI> Most Specifically this one: HyperX HX434C19FB2K2/16 @ 3466 .

 

Also according to that QVL another close to 60 Kits of RAM are listed as supported @3200 MHZ.

 

That motherboards QVL Page is here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350-TOMAHAWK#support-mem-12

 

Not sure if you require a different language version of the vendor site, but that one should be sufficient to pull product numbers and find the best value at your desired clock speed among vendor vetted modules.
