I am building myself a new computer and was trying to determine a good RAM to go with it. I am looking for a single channel B-die ram, with 16GB and 3200. Please let me know what you think of the following RAMs with my motherboard combo.

Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) CMK16GX4M2B3200C16
Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) F4-3200C16D-16GVKB
G.Skill - Trident Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) - F4-3200C16D-16GTZR

Also please feel free to comment on my computer build below. I am planning on Overclocking the Ryzen 5 to 3.7-3.8GHz on the stock cooler.

Computer Build:
AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor Gigabyte - GA-AB350-GAMING 3 ATX AM4 Motherboard Seagate - Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Samsung - 250 GB SSD EVGA - GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Video Card BitFenix - Nova ATX Mid Tower Case Antec - 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Modular
 
Both are good sets of RAM. I have heard a couple of people having trouble getting the Corsair Vengeance RAM to post on some boards, but that was a couple of months ago. Just make sure you flash the bios to your board as it may offer improvement.

Have you considered getting a different GPU? The GPU you are purchasing is getting dated. If you are purchasing this GPU, I would not get it unless it was very cheap. You may want to consider getting a 1050ti to pair with your 1600 instead of a 750ti. To put it in perspective, pairing a 1600 with a 750ti would be like buying a new luxury car that does not have air conditioning.

I am also thinking of the Trident Z. I am having trouble finding information regarding if they are B-Die and single rank, do you know if they are ? Which one is a safer bet of all the options ?

My GPU is from my old computer, I will be replacing it eventually when needed. Thank you for the update.
