[Herman Mcpootis]

What are you using the rig for?

[Kazarann]

Gaming and blender rendering

[Jurrunio]

Overkill PSU, bad deal board (Asus TUF WIFI and Gigabyte Elite WiFi offer more for the price), no RAM upgrade path, 2070S is a much better deal for how close its performance is to the 2080.

[Epimetheus]

Well, if you're getting a liquid cooler for the 3900x it must mean you plan to overclock it, and if you want to get the absolute maximum performance for your processor you should get at least 3600 mhz memory

Timings are way important than speed. That there is just a page out of AMDs marketing. 

 

While speed helps, a 3000mhz kit with good timings is better than 3600mhz with standard timings. 

 

People are better off aiming for B-die or E-die memmory.

Swap for 2 stickd of 16GB each.

 

How likely are you to overclock timings with memmory?

From what i know, you can lower the frequency of the ram and get tighter timings. Don't remember where i heard that though, maybe in ltt's ryzen overclocking guide

You can do that, but whats the point when you can aim for Micron E-die and Samsung B-die instead.

 

Also cheap 3600mhz kits really arent better than cheaper 3200mhz kits due to poorer timings on the 3600mhz kits. 

[Kazarann]

Yeah i didnt mean to put 3000mhz, thats my mistake, ive changed it to 3600, i wanted the RGB vengeance, wanted 4 x 8gb as rgb instead of 2 x 16gb

 

Changed MB to Asus TUF gaming

Not great timings, also, go for 2 stick config. That way you can upgrade the Ram

sacrificing upgradability for looks? Your choice, but then the graphics card looks as bland as it gets so not sure where the priorities has gone wrong.

the 750w PSU is only £8 cheaper or something

 

i want 4 sticks of ram for the looks, want ones with RGB and all my other stuff is corsair, is there anything else from corsair that i could pick that is RGB?

i wont want more then 32 GB and if i do ill just sell them and buy a new set of 4 if it comes to that, would prefer that over having no RGB and 2 sticks

As others have mentioned above,

 

go for a 2*16GB ram kit, (if you even need 32GB)

psu you chose is overkill. Something like Corsair RM550x or similar I’ll be enough.

 

as others have pointed out, the mobo you chose isn’t exactly ‘good’. Opt for one of

the

suggestions given above

 

Elsewise looks fine to me -  I don’t know sabrent  Rocket, so can’t judge on that ssd.

Would strongly suggest a 2 stick kit.

but really want the RGB 4 sticks, i dont mind losing money at a later date if i want to upgrade past 32 GB that is not a problem for me id prefer to buy 4 x 16 GB over having just 2

 

yeah i changed Mobo to Asus TUF GAMING X570

And I still suggest dual channel for your ram. Ryzen works more efficient on dual channel. Now I don’t know everything about 3rd gen ryzen; but for the 2 previous generations, dual channel is better.

 

if you want 4 modules just for the looks, certain vendors sell ‘fake’ Modules just to

fill up a the empty space

Not unless you want to spend a lot on memmory. Otherwise just stick with the choice.

Here is a build with a couple of changes.

 

Ignore the Ram change as you want it for looks not pure performance.

@Kazarann

 

Corsair do dummy Ram kits for the RGB Pro so you can still fill up all 4 slots but don't have to worry about upgrades in the future as you can just remove them to install actual Ram in it's place.

The kit above is 3000MHz CL15 but you can tweak it using Ryzen Dram calculator and Thaiphoon burner.
