ok, I decided to go for just 32 gb of ram.

its because my 16 gb pc is running at 90 percent due to the intensive workloads I do. I also like to keep a lot of tabs open, and I thought 32 gb is overkill so I want something in between. how about if I buy 2x4 gb ram sticks and 2x8 for a total of 24 gigs of ram, but they can run dual channel?

sorry I don't know how to explain it.

Hello, I was wondering if I could purchase 3 sticks of ram (8 gb each) of this https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-1x8GB-PC4-25600-Optimized/dp/B08D6LKYR5/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=corsair+vengeance+lpx+8gb+3200&qid=1618501395&s=electronics&sr=1-3 and put it in with my motherboard in a dual channel and single channel configuration, or buy two 4gb sticks of ram and two 8 gb sticks of ram for both dual channel. Will it work? which configuration is better? Could you include how to install it? thanks.

this way you don't need to worry about peripherals.

I included a link on the bottom which includes a very good laptop. It includes a screen, a mouse, a keyboard, and speakers all under 1000 dollars.

if you don't need a portable laptop, then get a desktop: specs ComponentSelectionPrice CPUAMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor$234.99Buy CPU CoolerCooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition 57.3 CFM CPU Cooler$44.99Buy MotherboardAsus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard$199.22Buy MemoryCorsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory$92.99Buy StorageSeagate BarraCuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive$45.95Buy StorageADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive$64.98Buy Video CardMSI Ge

Your cpu will still be compatible with your motherboard. Type up a solution for it; Im sure there are tutorials on how to update it.

I know, but it will be way over my budget

thanks for the resolution. for some of my work applications, a 12 core cpu is a bit overkill. I aim to do graphically intensive workloads like rendering and something like deep learning which requires a lot of gpu muscle. I can't game with a 5700xt in minecraft rtx or cyberpunk rtx.

So I have been debating with myself wondering whether or not I should get a 2000ish dollar pc with a 3080, 16 gb ram, and an i7 11700. I render things, use intensive applications, game at 1440p 165 hz (minecraft rtx and cyberpunk 2077 with rtx ultra). Is it worth it?

my guess is you need a better power supply. you should get a 80+ gold one instead of bronze. the rtx 3000 series are known to have large power spikes.

Thank you so much.

got it.

thanks.
