hello guys first sorry for my english
trying to pick the components for my first gaming non-oc pc

i picked an rx 580 nitro/a ryzen 5 2600 and a b450 tomahawk,about the ram read everywhere that some motherboards are not speed compatible with specific firms and models so contacted msi and they sent me a list with the tested rams,now im beginner in all these,but i know that corsair,hyperx and gskill are regarded as very good brandnames.So in the list it has many models that i found in my local store-thing is that the 3200 models are like 25-30 euro more expensive than the same exact model(and same code)in 3000

for example the corasiar vengeance lpx 2x8=16 3200 goes for 167 when the same 3000 goes for 140

so should i pay the extra for the 200more speed??as i said the pc is meant for gaming at 1080(i dont have high expectations with ultra graphiks or above 60fps)and also i wont overclock anything-just plugnplay
 
Solution
AMD's own page lists the Ryzen 2xxx RAM speed as 2933 Mhz, so the DDR4-3000 should be fine. Some want to squeeze the extra 266Mhz to 3200 (9% RAM speed gain). I'm sure it helps with things, but it doesn't matter that much.

wow for real???but i see all these comments that with ryzen 5 2600(even older or inferior ryzen models )people are saying that with that mobo and that ram they reach 3200(and i dont think they mean overclock just the bios adjustment)
