Thank you guys for the replies. Finally setteled for 16GB ram from G Skill Flare X which is supposed to work with Ryzen 100%.

Before making the buying i did called MD, they told me, the ram issues has been resolved in the new X470 Chipset, so i can choose any ram of my liking, but on pressing more for compatibility the reply was not so assuring.

So started looking for GSkill Flare X ram. Only Amazon and Primeabgb had the listing. The cheapest possible kit was only available in primeabgb. So i went for it and took the whole package from them only. Alas no discounts where offered to me.

Ram Selected: Buy Online | G.Skill Flare X F4-2400C16D-16GFX RAM | Price in India


Hopefull they ship it by today.

Congrats :)

But are you going to overclock heavily for light gaming , some video editing and general multimedia ?

If not , then why x470 motherboard for Rs 13,600 with 6 core processor ? A good quality b350/450 board for 8k or so would have been ok and saved you money ..
