NewEgg has the Adata XPG GAMMIX D20 Ram on Sales for 24hrs.

Not a lot of reviews, but good mid-range ram for really cheap.
decent price considering the current market, especially if you need something else from newegg with the extra $15. it's not $55, but spending $70(+) for $85(+) of stuff from newegg.
Is this worth it to upgrade from 16gb ddr4 2400 ram? CPU is Ryzen 5 1600
No the 10% performance increase someone quoted seems weird. Also for a 1st gen ryzen I would be more concerned at compatibility. Not worth it at all especially if you are gaming.

no, it's not. pretty much any performance deficiencies you see won't be remedied by a 800mhz upgrade in memory speed. like KapnKrunch said, you're better off saving the money for your next build.

I'd upgrade your processor to a 3300x ($120-130) assuming your motherboard can handle it after a bios update. Even then, it would benefit from a higher ram speed.

Got it for I think $63 bucks from amazon but no GC
Passed at Newegg gift card.
It's about a 10 percent increase in performance on average from 2400 to 3200
No, that cpu is so old you would be better off putting anything you might spend on it towards a new setup instead.

The 10 percent gain is not weird. I've noticed this with my builds as well.

Thanks for all the responses. Yeah, waiting and saving my doubloons until it's reasonable to build again.
I know GPU is the obvious barrier, but doesn't make sense to put together a system with a new CPU when all I have is a 1060.
