Going to apply my CPU, Ryzen 7 3700x, but is the paste that comes with it enough? Or should I postpone my build and buy more just in case?

Its fine, they wouldn't really include it if couldn't at least cool a decent amount.

You dont really need much to start with, and most likely they gave you enough.

Altho if you want to do another CPU you might need more tho.
For most consumer CPU's (like the 3700) a little small pea sized drop is enough.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
I'm just helping YOU to help YOURSELF!
(The more info you give the easier it is for others to help you out!)

Not willing to capitulate to the ignorance of the masses!
