I'm thinking about building a new budget gaming and productivity build and I am not sure what to do about RAM. Since the prices are so high, I will probably be unable to get a 16GB 3200mhz kit like I wanted, so for the compromise I wasn't sure if more was always better. I heard that Ryzen can benefit from fast RAM and that a lot of games don't actually use more than 8GB, so I was wondering, 8GB at 3000mhz or 16GB at 2400mhz?
