toughts on this?

Unless you're going for the aesthetic, there's plenty of cheaper ram out there that will perform just as well. Also pretty sure it's too tall for the cpu cooler you're going with. I would also recommend going with a regular 3600 for cpu as the real world difference between the 3600 and 3600x is pretty marginal.
