Would a ThreadRipper be good for gaming. What memory will be good for it and mobo

No. threadrippers in general suck balls for gaming, but especially first gen. The motherboards are overpriced for it, and the memory support fairly eH. PLus, the cheapest I can find it for is $230, and can usually find it for $300. Just get a 3600 for gaming, and 3700x for heavier workloads, they'll run laps around the 1900x all day

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

I'd go with one of the Ryzens. MUCH better suited for gaming and far more affordable. They're the dominant gaming processors right now.

Get one of the 3rd gen Ryzens though.
