MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE EATX AM4 Motherboard

Crucial Ballistix MAX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-5100 CL19 Memory

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor

 

So...I suppose my question is something like... Is it better to have this memory at 16GB, or 32GB of a slower type? (For FPS/MMO style gaming and light video editing)

That RAM is a complete waste of money and there is no performance benefit over 3800mhz. You can get 64GB of 3600mhz for that pric.

geometry is hard
b550 > x570

Thanks man.. So what makes it have no performance benefit? (sorry, am a nub) 

 

Is this to say that Crucial Ballistix MAX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-4400 CL19 Memory also has no performance benefit?

 

**and what frequency should I be aiming for? just 3800?

Besides the SLI, the build suggested here is still about the best you'll get.

 

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.
