Quarantine Build

[skyandlow]

Following on my last thread here is my final build.

I'm going to order this week so please if you find something incompatible or that I would be able to change to bring performance up let me know. This build is focused on work (adobe apps + multi tasking etc) and no gaming.

 

Q1: Will this Ripjaws RAM (F4-3600C16D-32GVKC)  work witht this board? (could not find it on the supported list, maybe my mistake - https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-TOMAHAWK#support-mem-19 )

yes i would to do the ram speed downgrade to buy the better graphics card or just save the money depending on the app ex photoshop doesn't need as much gpu as premier because ram speed doesn't matter so much would still use the same ssd also i would buy 4 times 8 gigs because that is cheaper and would maybe go for a silent case like the be quiet pure base 500 without the window espacialy if you don't care about rgb and maybe add some hdd for mass storage espacially if you have videos to work on you knwo how much space raw fotage needs

Disk I believe it would make a difference, ram not so much. Overall I think the GPU from the first build is enough.

I'm going to buy another 4TB HD because currently I have one with 4TB and is getting full. 

I will look into that case since I don't care about looks.

and it is quieter then all the other cases and looks decent

If the RAM is DDR4 and the motherboard is DDR4, it will work. That list is only memory that the manufacturer has garunteed will work with the board.

Yes, I would do it.

Even if that means going from sdd R/W 3500/3000 to R/W 2000/1700 and going from 3600 to 3200 on RAM?

It's 80 euros so it's not of my price range. Do you know if it's still good with the airflow?  airflow > noise, for me personaly
