I would like to build a white pc but would prefer performance over looks. I would like to clear some things.
1) I like the processor, but should i upgrade it to a zen 3 chip since the motherboard supports zen 3?
2) Is 3600mhz on the memory good enough?
There were these two additional notes in the pcpartpicker:
3) NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case has a front panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port, but the Asus ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard does not have sufficient USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Gen 1 headers. The case USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port will not be usable. Suggest me a board thats compatible with this issue please?
4) The Asus ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair CXM 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it. I would be getting a new gpu early next year so is this going to be a problem now? I currently have a low end gpu.
