Hi I've just purchased a Ryzen 5 3600 & the above mentioned Motherboard.

I'm now trying to purchase a DDR4 16GB 3200Mhz Dual Channel Kit, but I'm not sure on compatability.
My son has Corsair Vengeance RGB for his, but I'm wanting something different like G.Skill or maybe even Crucial Ballistix RGB.

So far I've got it narrowed to G.Skill. Would I encounter any problems with either of the following?

G.SKILL Trident Z Royal 16GB DDR4 3200MHz
G.SKILL Trident Z Neo DDR4 3200MHz
G.SKILL Tridenz Z RGB DDR4 3200MHz
 
G.Skills kits with same clocks speed and latencies all use same quality level memory chips and differences are in look...
Or same level of lottery in CL16 kits.

Crucial Ballistix again uses owner company Micron's rev.E chips.

Hi thankyou for the reply.

Which brand out of those would you go for? Or even any other brand?

G.Skill is going to be between £100 to about £128 for the Royal. I can get Crucial for under £90
Is G.Skill worth the extra?
 
Only 3200MHz CAS14 with highly binned Samsung B-die chips is worth price over Crucials with known to be very well overclocking Micron chips.
 
Just get whatever is cheapest. In terms of compatibility for the kits you've mentioned, you can check the part numbers against the QVL list for that board on the MSI site here if you haven't already.
