Building a desktop for a friend who will primarily use it for video editing/encoding and gaming, still picking out what parts I will use.

As for the RAM, not sure which one to go for. All three seem to be roughly the same price give-or-take on Amazon/Newegg (though some are out of stock on one or the other), and are the same capacity and speed, but have different timings.

I have been deciding between the:

Patriot: PVS432G320C6K
https://www.amazon.com/Patriot-Viper-3200MHz-Performance-Memory/dp/B07N3TXFFX/

Corsair: CMK32GX4M4B3200C16
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B016ORTNI2/

G.Skill: F4-3200C16D-32GTZKW
https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232413

Here is a comparison link of all three as well (The Patriot is out of stock on Newegg right now, and the Patriot out of stock on Amazon): https://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare?CompareItemList=9SIAG7R9RN4092,20-145-359,20-232-413

Any suggestions? I think it's mostly going to be a decision between the Patriot and G.Skill.... I kinda like G.Skill and when I last checked (Granted, that was 2012) it was some of the best... but that Patriot one is topping charts recently and seems to have better timings than any of the others.

Any lighting/RGB does not matter.

Patriot prolly a little faster and G.Skill a little more reliable.
 
$70 increase?

In the links I posted the RAM modules are $140, $155, and $160.

If you were looking at the Newegg price of the Patriot modules, I flat out said that they are out of stock there, and the reason the price is high is because it's some random 3rd party seller. They are actually the cheapest ones out of the three if you get them on Amazon, $140.

I only looked at the bottom link where there is a $70 difference. For $140 I would get them for sure
 
Id go with the patriot they are a solid manufacturer. They all run the same 16 18 18 timings and 1.35 voltage so theres not much difference between them other than heatsinks.

If your friend cares about overclocking: the Patriot and Corsair modules are Hynix C-die and I'm fairly certain the G.Skill is Samsung E-die. The latter generally has less OC potential compared to C-die.
