First time building a pc, and id like a second opinion.

[Plumy_TM]

Budget (including currency): $1600 cad (tax included 12%) 

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:  Mostly gaming. games I play are terraria, ksp, scp:sl, and I want to get some more demanding games, games my pc rn cant run like helldivers and ksp2 (when its fixed)

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

I'm upgrading from a pre-built with a gtx 1650, intel i5 10th gen (don't known the exact module), one stick of 16gb ram, slow ass hard drive, and a proprietary motherboard that doesn't have an m.2, so no nvme ssd :.(

 

 

here's the list I came up:

Avoid this if you can. 2x8GB kits of DDR5 perform significantly worse than the 2x16GB kits, to the point where 2x8GB 6000 CL30 is outperformed by 2x16GB 4800 CL40. Given it's only $30 more for a 2x16GB kit from TeamGroup, spend that and just save some money on the GPU or case instead:

the  pop air in white is 30 dollars cheaper rn if you want, and then get that ram fs, 16gb is basically obsolete

Definitely NOT that RAM!

 

5600MT/sec is slower than ideal and CL48 will be painfully slow... I genuinely didn't know they made latency that high! (CAS Latency / CL: is the number of cycles that the memory takes between refreshes - so CL60 would be half the speed of CL30)

 

There is a sweet spot for Ryzen 7000 at 6000MT/sec, so always aim for that and the lowest possible CL.

 

5600MT/sec + CL48 = over 17ns response time.

 

6000MT/sec + CL30 = 10ns response time.

 

Crucial/Micron are a big manufacturer, but there are other equally good ones out there, especially on the enthusiast side.

 

CAD50 more will get you not only 32Gb, but high performance, responsive, highly rated RAM.
