Please help me choose RAM and mobo for Ryzen

Getting a Ryzen 5 1500x or 1600 (still undecided)
Mobo A350 (still undecided)
Need 16gb ram, or 2x 8Gb
assume if get 2x 8gb of same ram it will run dual channel

- usuage internet browsing with multiple tabs / youtube, my current 8gb is running out of memory fast.
- dont game.

I dont need anything fancy, price of 2133 is so similar to 2400 so I will get the later instead.

Any other recommendation is welcome not on my list.

---------------------
Budget RAM
---------------------
RM 250 - 2133Mhz tho
Silicon Power Desktop Longdimm 8GB DDR4 - 2133Mhz

RM 260
GALAX 8GB DDR 4 2400MHZ CL16 DDR4 RAM

is this Galax ram ok? its soo cheap and also lifetime warranty.
Really temped to get 2x of these, probably just do the job.

---------------------
Normal Ram
---------------------
price range from 289-315
Please help me have 2-3 shortlist, its already sorted in price order.
My current thinking is get the branded ones for easy rma if anything goes wrong, and maybe its better quality/reliable.
eg kingston, gskill?

RM 289
ADATA PREMIER DDR4 2400 8GB DESKTOP PC RAM

RM 290
Kingston ValueRAM 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4 2400 RAM

RM 290
Adata XPG Hyper PC Ram DDr4-2400 8GB Ram (single)

RM 293
Gskill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2400MHZ

RM 589
16GB G SKILL RIPJAWS V SERIES 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2400 PC RAM

RM 299
Avexir Core Series DDR4/2400Mhz/8GB/LED

RM 298
Geil Super Luce 8GB DDR4 2400MHz Single Channel Kit

RM 315
Crucial 8GB DDR4 2400Mhz Desktop Value Ram - CT8G4DFD824A

---------------------
Semi-Performance Ram
---------------------

RM 654
Corsair Vengeance® LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz C16 Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2A2666C16)

probably would not get this ram, as I rather put money into better cpu, mobo or ssd.
Dont think its value for money

mobo shortlist

ASRock AB350M
ASROCK AB350M Pro4
Asus Prime B350M-A - 445

Only majour concern is if in future I like to add fast NVMe SSD
Just plug into any of the above mobo M.2 slot right?

https://www.lelong.com.my/asrock-ab350m-pro...7-09-Sale-P.htm

Slots: it says
- 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 Slot (PCIE2: x16 mode)*
*Supports NVMe SSD as boot disks

does that mean if i have a NVMe SSD as boot disks need to disable cant use the PCI E3.0 x16 for potential gaming?

Since you just do a multasking get a ryzen 1400-1500 probably good enough for you,for mortherboard
get a ASRock AB350 because it ATX,and about the NVMe SSD here what i found on they website
[attachmentid=9035185]
it say is M_1 is occupied PCIE4 will be disabled
*
yeh realized the 1500x would probably suit me more as its got faster single thread.
but it at the end top up around rm130-150 bit more for the 6 core instead.
will use it to mine xmr to recoup some of my money back too too hehe.

ryzen 5 1400 in my opinion no one should get it as its only around RM80 extra for the 1500x
the performance increases is really worth it, unless you are on a real tight budget

its same situation between 1200 vs 1300x

got that mobo, also a ryzen 5 1600, 2x 8gb ram, case, psu, network switch, belkin serge protector
ssd reuse, gpu reuse

shopback had this 20% visa cashback expired 10.8.17,
cap RM80 per order, cap RM315 from lazada per month, i got 3 acc hehe.

spent a lot with lazada today.
lots of things were selling out fast, especially the rams.

oh got Asus Prime B350M-A instead, there were no listing in lazada for asock ab350,
