The memory choice should come down to what you need. The performance differences are marginal for the most part. More memory is generally better, especially for video editing.

 

Instead of a SATA m.2 drive, why not get an NVMe model.

and i heard that x570 was supposed to be better than b550?

i will be editing videos about 2 - 7 mins long with heavy effects

Yes, get the ssd.

No, the b550 is not better. It has it's advantages, and b550 also has it's advantages. In this case, the x570 gaming plus has bad vrms that will overheat and throttle a 5900x, while the b550 version will work fine

what are the advantages of x570 over b550? and should i go for 16cl because i dont need to render long videos?

Some professionals may need even more power and extensibility than what the B550 platform can offer. For such professionals, MSI’s X570 motherboards are the ideal choice. If any of the following apply to you, the X570 platform is a better choice:

You use more than 4 USB 3.1 devices

You use more than 6 SATA devices

You use more than 3 Gen 4 M.2 SSDs

it's not about the length, but about resolution. if the video is 4k or more, you need 32gb.

the difference between c16 and c18 is small. far more important is having 4 ranks, 2 ranks per channel, which you won't have with 2x8 gb, only with 4x8gb or 2x16gb.
