I own the CPU, storage(current build), CPU Cooler(current build) and Case(current build) already. I am looking to eventually game at 4K 144fps when those monitors become more readily available. Additionally, I plan on getting a 3080, however if I can manage to get an EVGA 3070 and use EVGA's step-up program to get a 3080 I will do that. But if a 3080 is overkill for what I am looking to do, please let me know. Lastly, I am unsure of which RAM to get. Is the one listed overkill?

 

Thank you for your input!

Rtx 3070's are hard to get and that RAM is definitely overkill.

Are you willing to pay around 100 dollars more for rgb for that RAM

yes

spend less on ram

for the cooler go air cooling or if u really need/want liquid cooling go w/ 240

ok u allready have the cooling

 

and unless u really like that case....
i dont think $210 for a case is worth it

I own the case from my last build, I bought it much cheaper a few years ago. Thank you for your advice

Do they have a non-RGB version? I must have missed it

Yeah, I know. I've been trying to everyday to get the GPUs. I'm not willing to spend the scalper price, so I'll just keep trying when stores get more stock. What RAM do you recommend?
