I'm currently in the process of putting together a new PC and I seem to be have some issues finding memory that'll work good with my setup... I haven't built in a PC to this scale in quiet a few years and ill be honest, I've become sorta out of touch to the PC community for a long time. I've got a Ryzen 7 5800x with a Asus ROG Strix x570-E. Every set of memory I find that's in stock and in my price range isn't on Asus's QVL list for supported memory. The last PC I built I didn't pay attention to this (I didn't know any better at the time) and I could never get my Corsair Vengeance set to run at the correct speed using XMP. I don't really trust myself or know anything about manually overclocking memory and would rather just turn on XMP and have it work. What are the chances I can just get a set that isn't on the QVL list and it will still work at the correct speed? I'm looking at 32Gb Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200MHz C16 ( CMW32GX4M2C3200C16 ). Any input on what memory I should use is welcome too. I have no idea what's good and want isn't anymore... Thanks

Avoid Ryzen and Corsair vengeance memory; consider options from crucial or g.skill.

I found a single unit from G.Skill (model F4-3600C17Q-32GTZR) on the QVL list I was planning to purchase. I ordered it from Amazon, but it wasn’t available until mid-July... The market is really intense right now. Other similar sets I’ve seen cost over $400, which pushes my budget a bit too far. I’m already spending more than $2000 into this project, haha.

Which nation are you purchasing from and what is the quantity being acquired?

I'm in the USA. I initially wanted 64GB, but after checking prices, I went with 32GB since I mostly play games now.

The QVL isn't as important now, though it still offers some value. The 64GB 4x16 bundle is also on sale for $225 if you need that capacity. A 32GB option will suffice for everyday use.

I believe this configuration will suit your needs. Comparing a 3200Mhz CL16 to a 3600Mhz CL18, they should perform similarly in terms of speed.

Speed will take priority over latency, but a 4x16 setup will put pressure on the memory controller, leading to slower performance. Choose the lower-speed, lower-latency kit, as you might face challenges running 4x16 at 3600Hz.
