Spec me some RAM 16GB or 32GB please

[Darujhistan]

I'm clueless about RAM.

What I have:

MSI B450 Pro Carbon, Ryzen 2600, 6700XT, 16GB 3000MHZ, 2560 x 1440p 144MHZ, Seasonic 750W.

Where I'm going:

Going to drop a 5800X in there in the NY, or maybe even wait for the new V-Cache chips? though tbh I'm not sure if they'll be compatible with my mobo? I'm sure 16GB is enough for my gaming needs, but I was thinking about 32GB as I want to be set for the next few years.

I want go with this MOBO for as long as possible really, as basically I CBA to do another build!

If you look here, you’ll get the QVL list for your motherboard and which ram kits are 100% tested.

pick one of the Kits out of the list that meets your criteria

Thanks. it looks like it's top out at 3466MHZ anyway, I was mistakenly looking at the MAX version which goes above 4000MHZ. So probably not worth bothereing, I could probably get my current RAM up to that speed.

I would overclock your current kit and spend money on 5xxx cpu..

Yeah, it looks to me like a new kit wouldn't be much of an upgrade.

Money saved!
