Hi,

Been wading through mind field of memory info for Ryzen 5000 (havent done a build since 2015)

I'm almost certainly going to get 5900x and Asus Dark Hero mobo (keeping my 1080ti in the current climate)

It seems like the ideal sweet spot price/performance would be 32gb (2x16gb) 3600mhz (been looking a Crucial) c16. Obiously this is hard to come by right now

So Ive been looking into other solutions:

Should I get:
1. 2x8gb kit and wait to upgrade (I'm sure I can get by with 16gb for a while :))

2. 4x8gb which would, if I understand correctly, be running in Dual Rank with 4 sticks and give better performance
Is it more likely there will be issues running 4 sticks (e.g. with running xmp or manual timings)?

3. Do something else, happy to be guided a little here

I'm wanting to build a PC that it going to last me as long as the one I have now and want to be able to enjoy playing with overclocks etc

Thanks
