Since you're going with second generation Ryzen memory Dies shouldn't matter as much as 1st generation. Which are Hynix/Samsung dies if you want to get some more information.
Back to your question, while higher speeds result in better performance for Ryzen chips. It's become a solid fact now that 3200mhz is the best spot to be at for Memory Clock. Once 3000Mhz Memory Clock is set anything over 3000Mhz doesnt give as linear of an increase and it really starts to not be worth it after 3200mhz due to price/performance.
However, I would still check the motherboard you plan on getting and see their memory compatility list. This list is a list of memory that the MB Manufactuer has tested specifically on that MB.
If 3600 is cheap enough and you feel like it's worth it then you can go ahead and buy it. But theres still a chance a 3600mhz RAM won't achieve 3600mhz. However, 3200Mhz should be pretty easily achievable.

I can get these at better prices separately.
I would have jumped at this deal if the memory had 14-14-14.
So it would save money if the parts were bought separately? The ram itself almost costs as much as the whole deal.
I can get hyperx fury and overclock it for a better timing.
Hyperx Fury 16GB 2133 can be bought for as low as 110 dollars at ebay with 15-20 percent off.
Ram prices are super crazy. They will fall sooner or later within the next year.
Do timings matter in anything other than synthetic benchmarks? Two sticks of these are $185 and for $30(the price of a 120gb ssd) you're getting 500. Should I wait or is this too good of a value to pass up?

Though I am passing up on this deal if you need ram and an SSD right now this is not a bad deal. But if you are stocking up as I would have, you need to reconsider.
I'm trying to build my new rig by the end of the year, really debating on whether or not this value is future proof(can I be happy with this purchase if ram prices continue to drop?)
Anyone know if you can use the Masterpass promo more than once? I know it says not to but..
Also does anyone know if this ram is better for Intel or AMD?

What does RGB mean?
Yes you will. Also dont listen to that guy. All he knows about RAM is what all of the more money than knowledge people tell him.
RAM timing have nothing to do with a specific type of RAM product. It is the Die that is inside of the RAM. Typically, a better die can overclock better and can have better timing. Better timing can also lead to better overclocks.
RAM products with different timing but same name branding may have different Dies inside of them.
Also, RAM timing matters not for an Intel based system. RAM timing almost doesnt matter for 2nd generation Ryzen with their new Memory Controller SoC. However, if you were to buy 1st generation Ryzen, which you probably won't. Then RAM timing matters a lot.

Thank you, I'm going for a Ryzen 5 2600 . Is 3200 Mhz fast enough or should I go for the 3600 model?
