VarGogh reacted to Lurick in First time: looking for input on my internet setup
Yah, I ran it through a few of those review checker sites and like 70% of the reviews seem to be considered fake on average so that throws some big red flags.

Welcome to why Sq Footage is a dumb measurement.
Also usually a lie.

both of those are absolutely overkill for 200mbps internet.
How much floorspace / wall penetration does the router have to deal with?

SB6190 uses the Puma 6 chip. Its known to have issues. If you want a 32 channel modem go with a Docsis 3.1. Otherwise look at maybe a 24 channel modem.

advertised coverage is nothing like real world coverage.
you might want to consider an option with a repeater?

VarGogh got a reaction from tkitch in First time: looking for input on my internet setup
I am confused as to why it is measured in square footage. I imagine the coverage for a 2,000sqft house that is 1 floor would be much different than a 2,000sqft house with 2 floors. I was hoping that since the square footage would be “stacked” it would function similar to a 1,000sqft building. I know this isn’t exactly how it works but it demonstrates my confusion regarding how far the router can actually reach.
A router in a single story building 2,000 square feet would need to reach ~22 feet in each direction where as a two story building would require ~15feet in every direction but also up to the next floor

Hey man,
The 3400G is fine for waiting for a GPU, don't expect a lot of performance tho.
The warning about the ram clearance is to be ignored if you are using a stock cooler.
The warning about the BIOS version is little more complicated; With the launch of ryzen 3rd gen b450 boards were also compatible with a BIOS update. Any boards that were made after the launch already have this new update. I would think that this board was produced after the launch since it has been a pretty long time. Should probably be fine. If you did the build and it is not posting that could be the issue you are having. Then you need a ryzen 2nd gen or lower cpu to update your bios.
For the ram: the trident Z is cool but not needed(looks cool tho). The other option i would not suggest, you probably should get at least 2x8 sticks. You can get a decent kit for about 80-90 bucks.
All of your ssd's are good choices; all have a DRAM cache.
Power supply looks good.
Cases are for the most part personal preference but these look fine.
That's a pretty good monitor deal if you need 4k.
