Hey! I wanted to share some thoughts on RAM options for my upcoming PC build. I'm considering three choices: Crucial Ballistix Black BL2K8G32C16U4B DDR4 16 GB, Patriot Viper Steel PVS416G320C6K DDR4 16 GB, and Patriot Viper 4 Blackout PVB416G320C6K DDR4 16 GB. All three are CL16, 3200MHz, with a total of two sticks. My plan includes a Ryzen 5 3600, an ASRock B450M Pro4, and the 1660 Super GPU. Prices are pretty similar across them. What do you think?

This won't make a difference at all. Just pick the cheapest option or the one you like the most.

I own the Crucial Ballistix and have never encountered any problems with it. The dark black finish fits my style, but feel free to choose whatever is available on the list.
