First Time AMD X570 Build

[SpaceOperator]

So This is the first time that I have bought an AMD processor. I am switching over from Intel and I have most of my parts already I just need some ram, a water cooler and a case.

my old build was about a year ago so most of the salvaged components should still be good

 

My Current build as it is now

Ryzen 9 3900X

Gigabyte X570 Elite WIFI

RTX 2080 FE (had from previous build)

Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200mhz 16gb (2x8)

EVGA AIO 240mm

80 Gb NVME SSD (had from previous build)

2tb 3.5 inch SSHD

Sound blaster AE-5 (had from previous build)

Corsair 200r

EVGA 750w PSU (had from previous build)

 

I have plans to add card reader and a optical drive, and about 2 more HDD's

 

My current questions are the ram compatibility with the motherboard, and is the PSU powerful enough to run this new processor and video card. will the 240 mm prevent me from adding optical media drives should I go with a 120mm AIO because I am looking at cutting cost by going with a 120mm.

The psu has enough capacity.

 

The memory should work, but DDR4-3600 CL16 would be a better match.

 

A 240 radiator will be problematic. While Corsair suggests the case will accommodate 240 radiators, it lists none of the Corsair 240 radiators as compatible. 

 

Instead of an aio, consider a cpu cooler like the NH-U14S. It will provide excellent cooling and is compatible with the case and motherboard.

I considered that but I had looked on my motherboard's memory support list and it showed that their were few brands that ran at 3200mhz that were on the list so I went with 3200 and I am on a end build budget of 300 dollars. I have also heard that amd was picky with the ram it takes.

The memory controller on first gen Ryzen was picky. Improvements have been made and the current generation performs better with a wider range of memory chips.
