I asked around and i've been recommended those two:

The first ones because apparently they can run at 3200hz without any OC on a lower voltage, the second if i wanted something faster while maintaining a low price.

The question is i'm not sure whether either of those can run well with this board. This is for a Ryzen 3600 (or possibly 3600x).

A friend told me to shoot for 3600hz but i'm not even sure this board can support that.

Not many x 470 boards support ddr4 3600 especially without some tweaks. And most that do will not support all 4 slots being populated.

What motherboard?
 
MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC. So i guess 3600 is out of the question. Possibly even 3400.

The difference isn’t the end of the world. The real key is latency. Look for some 3200 cl14 b die... you’ll be all set.
 
Out of the two memory modules listed. I'd get the Patriot. The Kingston 3200Mhz at Cas 18 is silly. You can always run the Patriot 3400Mhz memory at 3200Mhz and keep the lower latencies. You might even be able to tighten them up.

CL14 seems to be very expensive, too much considering what you gain.

Checked some review on the Patriot and it seems some people are having trouble with it using this motherboard. Back to searching.

BTW, i thought the b die thing wasn't needed anymore. I mean they aren't even making them anymore, right?

If you want the best you’ll pay for it. If you do enough reading you will the speed difference makes less of an impact on gaming performance then latency.

It's a budget system and the difference doesn't seem to justify the high price. If i wanted the best i'd be buying an x570 and a Ryzen 3950 instead of trying to shove a 3600 on a B450 board but i'm kind of broke, so :(

I wouldn’t have suggested b die if I had read it was a budget system.

If that’s budget, go with whatever bulk 3200 cl16 ram you find. Bumping up the speed will just be wasting money honestly.
 
That's what i'm going for too, even though i think the design looks crappy (but who cares, it's just cosmetics).

One thing i'm wondering though is whether it might actually be possible to go all the way to 3600mhz with the Ryzen 3000 (i know you can't with the 2000, but i heard CPU actually matters in determining how far you can push your memory). Because in that case i might opt for something like this:

The sweet spot for Ryzen 3000 seems to be precisely 3600mhz.

3600 is better than lower speeds because it reduces the latency of the infinity fabric a little but you are destroying the gains by running c18 and as such 3200c14 will be faster although not noticeably.
For gaming go 3200c16 with 2600\3600 in a B450 MB and prioritize GPU f you have the budget for a overkill GPU then start looking at spending more on faster CPU and RAM.
