I've just picked up an 5600G and a B450 tomahawk motherboard. I might have a look at some light gaming (but my xbox will take care of most of the proper stuff) and will do some photo editing and possibly a bit of video editing.
Any suggestions for 16gb RAM? I've seen the corsair vengeance 3600mhz is £45 at Amazon at the mo. There's also some Patriot Viper Elite 4000mhz for £49. With a decent board, would the faster RAM help (I read that the APU benefits from faster ram). Would I be able to overclock the Corsair or Patriot or would I need high end gear? (and yes I understand that technically, even the stock speeds are "overclocked")
With RAM prices dropping, would you say this was likely to be as low as they'll go? (crystal balls at the ready)
Then there's the Kioxia Exceria nvme's with 1tb for £49 or 512mb for £28. Again, a good time to f'n one or hold off?

sorted byim using the Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO and ive not no probs at all.
But then again, the Patriot are only £4 more :/ They'd be easy to drop to 3600 but would have a higher ceiling if I started playing around.
What's the benefit of the Pro vs the standard Vengeance? What made you choose that ram? Was it much more expensive?
I've spent days messing around overclocking a couple of Intel cpu's so I know how hard it Sam be to get things stable one you start pushing, but I've never done anything with ram apart from the basic, 1 clock xmp profile.
