Looking to get some of this g.skill ram but...debating the amount/speed route i should go with. I know they say that difference between 3200 and 2400 isn't a significant difference....but they say the 3200 is helpful for the ryzen builds...if of course the motherboard allows it to run at 3200 which people were having issues with at first.

3200 16 gb (2x 8 gb) set for $186
2400 32 gb of 2400 (4 x 8gb) for $230
2400 32 gb (2x 16gb) for $217.

The computer has the potential of being used for video editing in the future, thanks

Sure as AMD is currently only supporting 3200 at its highest speed. There is no absolute if AMD will get 3466 running. The 32GB kits none Flare x are less tested and may drop to 1866 but as likely 2133. This would add more than 10ns of latency. That would have a great impact on all games and a good number of programs.

So you'd suggest instead of getting the flare sticks that supposedly are more compatible with Ryzen to go with a different stick at 3200 for the 16gb?

Does anyone see a reason I should go with getting 32 gb and getting the 2400 vs the 3200 for the chances of future video editing?

Hmm, have the current bios updates possibly fixed the issue either way as with other sticks running correct? I don't think their aim would be just towards the flares
