What do you need 64GB of RAM for?

Either a typo or they can't add up as 2 x 16 isn't 64.

my friend and I were going to buy 4X16 sticks and then split the price so we both had 2X16. So yeah, let's say it was a typo.

Do you already own that case, as it looks a bit cheap for a budget like this ? I would look at the ASRock X470 Taichi, Gigabyte X470 Gaming 7 and MSI X470 Gaming M7 as some alternative high end boards. Nothing wrong with the CHVII though.

 

Are you getting an aftermarket cooler ? No point getting thermal paste if not. Again for a build like this I would put a cooler in there.

 

What is your budget for the pc ?

I actually like how the case looks compared to the other ones i found that were suitable for my build, and I read pretty good reviews about it. I did consider the "be quiet! DARK BASE PRO 900" as a case but quickly chose the Sharkoon looking at the price difference. You have any suggestions for another case maybe? 

 

And I'm not planning on overclocking right off the bet, so I decide to keep the aftermarket cooler as an upgrade for later. Plus, I like the looks of the Stock cooler coming with the Ryzen 7 (Wraith Prism). 

 

And as for budget, I'd definitely like to keep it below €2000. But I also think it's worth spending a bit more if it means I'm 'Future proof', so to speak.

(That's one of the reasons why I'm going for the Ryzen 7, not the 5. And why I'm taking 2X16 GB ram instead of 2X8)
