Memory for Ryzen 1700X

Hi all,

I've bought my first Ryzen processor (1700x), which has been sitting on a shelf, staring at me longingly.
I'll probably be buying a B450 motherboard for it.
As the title suggests then, what memory should I buy for this system? I don't intend to overclock, but I do want the system to run as optimally as possible.
I've been looking at CL14 3200 memory but it's expensive and I think it might be overkill for this setup.
Looking forward to your advice.

Thanks @eeii.
Would I not see a performance benefit from CL14?

I bit the bullet and bought the CL14 memory now. It had dropped slightly in price too.
Looks like I'll be getting some good gaming action in this weekend.

For nearly the same price, you could've gone for the 1800X.

I got the 1700X for £146, which I though was a rather good deal.
