Unless I got something wrong, I found this on your Motherboard's site Support For B350M GAMING PRO | Motherboard - The world leader in motherboard design | MSI Global

Code:

G.Skill
F4-2666C15D-16GRR
DDR4
2666
2667
SK hynix
1.2V
DS
8GB
√ √

Which I am under the understanding is the same ram, the 16GRR is a 16 GB kit and the 8 GRR is an 8 GB kit, but the same ram. Is that not correct Drew?

I only want the 8gb, 2×4gb

Ok thank u for your help. I have since made some changes. Is this build still good? FinalReducedPriceAmarov - LukeDaDuke2017s Saved Part List - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB SC GAMING ACX 2.0, Galaxy-01 ATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker

That looks pretty well and in the future you can put more money into it

For now i say you have a good system to get started and it is within your budget win win

Yes, what I am saying is I think it is the exact same ram, just the size of the modules are different. In other words either one will work.

Ok so the first ram i had is compatabile?

Maybe @sygnus21 has a different idea, but I would try it. I believe it is the same thing as listed on your Motherboard's web site, just different size but the same model. I do know the Ryzen boards have had memory compatibility issues. I thought that some, if not all, of those issues had been worked out with BIOS updates. Make sure to update to the latest bios.

Ok thank you

Only Asus boards i know of resolved the memory issue
I have crucial Ballistic Sport 3000mhz i can only run 2666 any higher it won't boot

There is a feature in the bios that allows you to get it higher but the returns are small AM4 advanced Boot Training off gives you a higher clocks to play with

The memory you have is Gskill it should work fine but like Steve is saying not listed and here is the minimal Ram rating F4-2666C15Q-16GRR

The best ram for Ryzen is AMD Flare X https://www.amazon.com/G-SKILL-288-Pin-Desktop-Memory-F4-2400C16D-16GFX/dp/B06XGF89CB/ref=sr_1_6/133-3693318-4909144?ie=UTF8&qid=1505422182&sr=8-6&keywords=amd+ram+memory

Luke i went through your memory QVL and this is the only and cheapest compatible one i could find for your system
