Cunning Death

@ELSknutson ok working on the primes that flare x is the way to go what would be optimal? 8x2 at 3200hz or 16x2 at 2400hz

Im currently Starting my first PC build and bought a Ryzen 1700 and have ordered everything except the RAM. Which leads me to my question. Do i need to buy AMD ryzen specific ram? and if so which would be optimal DO i need more Frequency or Memory. I do know it needs to be DDR4 G.Skill 2x16 2400MHz /VS/ G.skill 2x8 3200 (because they dont make a 3200Hz 16 bit flare X) -OR- should i go with a ripjaws or a vengeance corsair. (DDR4 3200 8 or 16 GB) i know hat any ram could work but i need to know whats optimal.

@DocSwagty i have taken your ram advise + its on sail on newegg so IF they deliver on the free shipping its the same price @RadiatingLight ty for the explanation on the GPU's

@DocSwag are you sure i was told that all it had to be was ddr4 and it wouldn't matter. Also went for 3000 because i didnt think the jump to 3200mhz was worth the prize increase. Fell free to correct me if im wrong

Thank you for everyone that has helped refine my build over the last few days. Everything is in shopping cart ready to order just making sure, one last post. Purpose: Gaming, Content Creation(Streaming, editing videos and Rendering), Animations (Photoshop, Blender, Maya, Zbrush) Price range: I would like to cap at $1000 - 1700 ish. From Puerto RIco, Ordering from Amazon USA. My Build:https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CHxyRG Questions: I keep getting mix answers. 1) EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW or WTF2? is there a point or difference? Ty to everyone that helped me in this community. It has been infinitely more helpful then Reddit.

@sethy55 admittedly those parts dont inspire confidence and would prefer to go with what i know.

alright once i get about my D&D session ill look at it

yea i havent oreders parts yet. later tonight thou

hello

@ATFink i did like that "G.Skill TridentZ Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3000 Memory" it is cheaper then the vengence lpx 2x16 one

@tom_w141 is the crosshair worth the money? & With a single 1080, 4k isn't possible on gaming but still good for art and editing videos? did i catch this correct?

@mariushm & @tom_w141 thank you for the detailed explanation that said with a single 1080, 4k isn't possible on gaming but still good for art and editing videos? did i catch this correct?

These look really really good. TY yea, yea it does:(. That said i like your modified build ill differently make changes to mine. thanks for that.

does the M.2 have a better chance of getting damaged? because if so losing main storage will hurt. but i do agree with getting rid of one

i think ill go for video editing and working on photoshop > gaming. So for 4K? OR ...OR i could just get 1 of each lol
