I'd Recommend AMD Ryzen 3900x if you want some multitasking (Streaming etc...) its the same price .

4x8 Rams better than 2x16 since it  gives you more speed and if you are planning on taking AMD CPU consider taking 3600 memory speed .

other than that its perfect and goodluck.

Board only supports dual channel memory, so your good with 2x16 gb like in your original build list.  4x8 gb won't give extra speed, plus it won't leave extra space for easy upgrade in the future if that is something you might want to do

False its the oppocite. it creates higher load on memory controller which makes less stabilyt and less overclock.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Overpriced. there are m2 ssds that are much cheaper and perform the same

total overkill psu. even 550w psu would be enough

bad airflow case

overpriced ssds

overpriced memory

with this budget you could get r9 3900x, 32gigs of ram and rtx 2080 ti. but you buy overpriced products so you cant affor rtx 2080 ti. yes it is overpriced too but it performs 30% better than rtx 2080 super

You realise that Z490 and the i9 10900K isn't that far from release ? Not that I am recommending Intel, but you should still hang fire just to see if it affects prices on the 9900K/Z390.

 

A 3700X is a better buy though if you are just gaming, as it would save a lot of cash and you would still have an upgrade path to Ryzen 4000.

Sure prices might be high, but it's all quality components.  Too many times have I, and my friends been burnt on buying cheap off brand components.  Also sometimes you just want something that is going to be good, and last.  A decent power supply is going to last a long time, my corsair hx1000 has been going strong since 2009.  It's seen many different cases and systems come and go.  Sure prices will inevitably fall as new hardware comes out, but there's a time to wait, and a time to just stick to it and start gaming, or work, or whatever it is you want to do with your system.  It's going to be a beefy rig with those parts, and it's not always about squeezing every bit of performance out of every dollar invested in a build.  If it's what you need just go for it.
