Memory with Ryzen 9 Processor

Hello all. I am new to the CORSAIR and custom builds. I currently am working on a 3 monitor setup. My tower included the following..

AMD Ryzen 9 3900x
ASUS AMD AM4 ROG X570 Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) Motherboard
Corsair Force MP600 M.2 2280 1TB - 2 of these
MSI Geforce RTX 2080 TI 11GB Gaming X Trio
Corsair 1000 Watt Platinum Power supply
Windows 10 64 Bit


Monitors are Asus ROG Swift PG279Q 27inch (Running a 3 monitor setup)

Tower is a Corsair Crystal 570X RGB Mirror Black ATX Mid Tower

Cooling is Corsair H115i RGB Platinum Liquid Cooler

My questions is... I am looking at 2 memory modules. One being the....

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200
CMW32GX4M2C3200C16

CORSAIR Dominator Platinum RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3600 CMT16GX4M2K3600C16

Which one is going to work better in my system? I hear a lot of mixed reviews on memory compatibility with the Ryzen 3000 series. Plus one is a Dominator and one is a Vengeance. Personally I like the looks of the Vengeance over the Dominator, but I can not find the Vengeance with 3600 MHZ. Any help would be great
Also, I would like to have the most GB that I can. I dont need 128. But 32 GB would be nice. Maybe 2 - 16GB chips.  Unless 2 - 32 or 4 - 16 are recommended.

Hi, you need to chack the MB QVL list for best options and compitability. 

ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (WI-FI) Memory / Device Support | Motherboards | ASUS Global 

Just search the best (latency/frequency/size) you can find for you if money is no object on the list you can download.

Unless you're editing 4K videos or working with professional level photo editing software, 16GB of RAM is -plenty-. As for which chips you should get, I'd go with the one below. Is a little more expensive, but it's made for Ryzen CPUs, and the timings are tighter.

G.SKILL Trident Z Neo (For AMD Ryzen) Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin RGB DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C14D-16GTZN

Do they have this available in Corsair Dominator RGB or Vengeance Series?  Any help would be great. Trying to stick with the Corsair brand for RGB purposes and syncing everything up. Unless the G.Skill that you mentioned will somehow sync up with my corsair product??
