I compared two RAM configurations, noting similar settings but hearing that the Corsair set offers superior performance. The G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3200MHz 16GB CL16 (2x8GB) is priced at $149, while the Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3200MHz 16GB CL16 (2x8GB) costs $169. There appears to be a performance difference, though I haven’t tested it myself.

Choose the more affordable option.

Yes, there is a 3600 MHz option available.

They're essentially identical. Claiming Corsair RAM is superior is misleading. You can achieve comparable or marginally better performance for roughly $80 without RGB features. Just a note.

Yes, a 3600mhz model costs $239, but we're facing a very limited budget.

However, omitting RGB results in reduced performance (lol). Corsair LPX is priced at $118, while other non-RGB options are even more expensive.

This kit includes Crucial Ballistix 16 GB memory (2 x 8 GB) with DDR4-3600 CL16 specifications. Available from PCPartPicker, though the German price seems higher compared to the US.

However, the ram is still superior to any no-RAM option. Consider getting the Tridzy kit. Gskill is recognized for strong compatibility, making XMP more likely to function properly even at default XMP configurations. The new Tridzy design looks great too.
