The Patriot Viper Steel kits are pretty good and pretty cheap. I don't know about the lower speed bins, but the faster ones are B-Die.

I've got the 4000mhz cl19 kit, and I've got it tuned to 3800 cl16. First gen ryzen won't hit that speed, but you could probably get 3200 cl12 if you did some tuning with it.

Should clarify I had two kits of this, both did that speed and timings with no fuss or extra voltage.

the advantage of this is if you upgrade to 3rd or 4th gen, you'll get to benefit from that extra speed, and it won't cost you too much more over a 3200mhz kit.
