Hello, im just about to build a pc and finding out which ram to buy is very confusing. I have a Gigabte B450M DS3H motherboard and a ryzen 5. I heard better speeds where needed but dont know which.

The PC is going to be used for mainly e sports titles and older titles like Destiny 2.

Thanks for reading

Ryzen is picky about ram.
Not all DDR4 ram will work.
You want documented ram compatibility. If you should ever have a problem, you want supported ram.
Otherwise, you risk a finger pointing battle between the ram and motherboard support sites, claiming "not my problem".
One place to check is your motherboards web site.
Look for the ram QVL list. It lists all of the ram kits that have been tested with that particular motherboard.
Sometimes the QVL list is not updated after the motherboard is released.
For more current info, go to a ram vendor's web site and access their ram selection configurator.
Enter your motherboard, and you will get a list of compatible ram kits.

Ryzen responds to faster ram. Balance the ram speed vs. the cost.
