I am looking for some ram for a Ryzen 1600 build. I have heard that getting faster ram can help speed up the CPU and I was looking at some black G.Skill Ripjaws V ram that is at 3200 (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zgJkcf/gskill-memory-f43200c16d8gvk). I am planning on using an MSI b350 PC Mate motherboard but can't find any ram that is 8gb that is verified. Can anybody help me out or give me some tips?
What 8GB (4GB x 2) kit for a Ryzen 1600 should I use?

If your gaming I would highly consider going with 2x8GB for 16GB total DDR4 3200mhz. There are plenty of games out now that need more then 8GB of ram and should only be bought for gaming if your budget strictly dictates as such. Plus if you go to add 2 more sticks later to get 16GB (ie 4x4GB total...assuming you can find same make and model ram) your CPU will only be able to handle it as DDR4 2400mhz as Ryzen can't do 3200mhz with 4 dimms only 2. If you are not gaming then your fine with only 8GB total.
