Which do I go for?

Stuck between the following:

Crucial Ballistix 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 RGB 3000MHz
Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 2x8GB) DDR4 RGB 3200MHz
Adata XPG SPECTRIX D60G 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz RAM

The Crucial is the cheapest out of the 3 and they will be used with the following parts:

ASRock B450M Steel Legend mATX
AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Sapphire RX 380 2GB GPU
Akasa Venom R20 AIO cooler
Corsair RMx 500W modular PSU
Cougar Gemini M case

It's not going to be used for gaming as I have a machine built just for that. Will be used for video editing and work related stuff. But give me your recommendations on the RAM to use with the above parts.

Thank you!

3200MHz CL16 costs £75.

Though 300MHa CL15 Crucial uses well overclocking Micron rev.E chips.
And 3000MHz is surer to work without issues with mediocre memory controller of Zen+ CPUs.

And more than £21 Arctic Freezer 34 is total waste of money with shoe string budget CPU.

Thing is, I am going for RGB on this build, hence the RAM I mentioned and I prefer AIO coolers.

Buying low end hardware to start with and then making it even slower with RGB bloatware...
