Looking at two 2x16gb 3600mhz kits to go with a Ryzen 5 cpu.
Can get the vengeance lpx kit, CL18, for around £98 with some money off I got lying about in an account or can get crucial ballistix CL16 for £138....worth it or not?

No the 30% increase in cost doesn't equate to performance, unless your chasing every fps then cost doesn't matter to some.

I would say it's worth paying the £30 difference, the Ballistix can generally overclock well at decent timings.
Could come in handy for Zen 3.

No plan to go zen3. First build in 10+years and on a tight budget BUT I don't mind stretching a bit if it's really worth it.
I'm thinking more the money I save on the ram could be put towards maybe going up to a 3700x instead of a 3600 (all kit is gonna be second hand apart from the ram as it seems to rarely show up on the MM)

In that case then not worth it, put the money towards a 3700x.
