It's my first ever build, all else is done but all the RAM options nd versions out there have me so confused on which one is compatible? Which one is better considering my budget of around 100$?

Please suggest me the best dual channel 8gb option compatible with my mobo, I've to finish this build before next weekend.

I went overbudget and ordered the ADATA XPG Z1 8X2 16gb 3200 mhz, it was the cheapest dual channel 16gb I could find. So, did I make the right choice?

Yup, but someone told me that my micro atx board cant go anove 2400mhz even though gigabyte's site clearly says it can go 3200mhz OC. Hoping that guy's also just a noob.

The motherboard support does say that it supports XMP etc. will be tweaking the settings once the RAM arrives.

Do i need to overclock my CPU to OC the RAM or can I just run the RAM at 3200 and CPU at base clock?
