Hello guys I want to upgrade my pc from FM2+ Athlon to AM4 Ryzen (R5 2600). Right now I will only buy the 3 essentials, Motherboard, CPU and RAM, and transfer the other components from my old pc. I have a hard time deciding on the RAM, because the prices are really fluctuating and finding the best budget/performance option isn't easy, but so far I found 2 which seem to be the best to me: HyperX Fury 8GB 2666 Mhz CL16 1.2v vs Corsair Vengeange 8GB 3000 Mhz CL16 1.35v. The HyperX is couple dollars cheaper, but I heard that RAM frequency affects Ryzen performance more, so logic answer would be the Corsair but I don't know what difference would the 1.35v make over the 1.2v. Also I didn't decided the motherboard, but so far MSI B450 platform is the most viable option either a Tomahawk or Gaming Plus, but I also saw an X470 Gaming Plus priced reasonably. So my questions are:
Which of these 2 rams should I get?
My plan is to have 16Gb dual channel memory in the end, but now I only buy one stick of 8gb and if I buy the same RAM again will it work the same if I bought a kit?
What MB do you recommend for 3000 mhz or 2666 mhz?
Thanks for the answers.
