All those ram works with your motherboard, go for 3000 mhz ramand turn on XMP in your bios.

none of these memory let you use dual channel, so unless you get 2 sticks they are all bad. High frequency is better than lower ones for the price.

 

Arctic F12 are decent cheap fans

I would recommend the Corsair Vengeance LPX 1x8GB 2666 C16 or the Corsair Vengeance LPX 1x8GB 2400 as these have XMP support. Other than that all sticks of the ram work about the same (except for the speed). For fans, I would pick up a pair of Arctic F12's. Overall I would pick the Corsair Vengeance LPX 1x8GB 2400 as it has the fastest speeds. I hope this helped, Aaron

You really want to try and go for dual channel in the system so if possible get 2 stick/dimms. PSU looks fine to me. 

 

128 gig SSD is a bit small and its still SATA so if you can buy a 2.5 inch to save some cash I would. It will get the job done but its definitely a boot only drive.

Tnx for the reply, so would it than be smart to maybe get 2x4gb sticks?
And where can i see if it uses Dual Channel?

Tnx for the reply, maybe i understood the speeds wrong but isnt the 2666 C16 one quikcer than the 2400 one?

yes.

 

If it has even number of sticks then it can use dual channel. Just make sure you don't put sticks into the wrong slots.

Sorry I typed out the wrong product. I meant that the fastest memory is the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 but it doesn't have XML support. Sorry for the confusion!

Tnx for the reply and special thanks for taking the tike to put a whole list together.
To be honest, a micro ATX would safe some money on some parts, but i do like the bigger feeling of a ATX.
I looked for the parts from a Dutch reliable site so that its close to home and if i have problems it wouldn't be a problem solving them.
I have some problems with some of the items tho, the first one being the memory, i did some research and 8GB will be enough for me because i aint planning on streaming or multitasking while gaming, the second one being the video card, i dont have much experience with AMD video cards but if it will safe me some money and get me better performances than i will be prepared to look in to it more, and the last one being the powersupply, the 80+ gold rated PSU will yearly only safe you around 3-5 euros on electricity while paying 15euros more at once.
If you have some more recommandations i would love to hear them!

Yea i understood that an even amount of cards is good and the slot to use is in the manual of the motherboard, but does it matter if I use 1x 8gb stick or if I use 2x 4GB because it is still the same amount of RAM, it are not different types or RAM and the 1x 8GB one maybe have more Mhz than the 2x 4gb when looking for the same price range.

it's the same amount but dual channel has in theory double the bandwidth (in practice more like 80% extra bandwidth).

well, tweakers.net is really good to check some prices. only reliable shops are listed there. this was just for info. you could get the atx version of the board with a focus g for example... if you only want 8 gigs, get it in a 2x4 3000 mhz+ kit then... amd cards do give a great value, the 580 is as powerfull as a 1060 6gb for most of the times a lot less. for the psu it wasn't only for your bills, but for the quality of the unit too. the pure power 11 is a great built psu, and totally worth the extra 15 bucks over that cooler master, as I'm not the biggest fan of the mwe

Thanks for the explanation man, but one thing still is the RAM speed, i get and see that 2x4gb is better but is the 3000 mhz that necessary?
I watched some videos before where it explained that around 2400/2600 is already just enough.

As in a fair bump, what are we talking about than? Because like I said (but i will look in to it to be more sure about it, or to get proven wrong) alot of them said that above 2666 doesnt improve alot for gaming, for editing and rendering stuff (i dont do stuff like that) it would improve quite a bit tho.
if im rlly wrong plz tell me so because I probably have less experience than alot of you guys?
