So I'm finally building my first Gaming/streaming/editing rig. I already own the m.2 (plan on getting larger one later),Graphics card, and case. I'm concerned with comparability issues will the ram fit under my cooler? Also par picker says "he MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it."

id drop down to the regular 3600, with the $25 saved spend on a better cooler like a noctua ND-D14/15, get some 3600 CAS 16 instead of 18, get a 2070 super or a 5700 xt, and review your PSU choice vs. the tier list in the cases and power supplies forum.

 

EDIT: or skip the cooler completely to use the included one, or spend $20 on a basic one like you listed, and redirect the money to gpu/etc.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.
