First Build Tips

[Wolfca]

After following PC hardware for over 9 years (When I first started, the q6600 was all the rage), I'm finally out of college and have cash moneys to build a PC. I was going to wait until later i the year to build some backup capital, but then prime day happened. So, for ~$900 I ended up with:

 

NZXT S340

EVGA 600W 80 Plus Bronze PSU (thanks, Prime Day)

Ryzen 1700X (thanks, Prime day)

Corsair Hydro H110i (thanks, Prime day)

Aus Prime B350Plus mobo (thanks, Prime day)

WD Blue 1Tb 7200RPM (thanks, Prime day)

SanDisk 480Gb Sata 3 SSD

8Gb Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz DDR4

EVGA 4Gb 1050Ti (I'll only use this for the next year or so, I'm not going to waste money on a high-end card in this market)

Windows 10 OEM

 

So I have four (five?) questions:

-Is Ryzen still finicky with RAM? I specifically went to Fry's for the ram to ask someone more experienced with me and he said the Corsair should work, but I know lots of people have had problems with underclocking.

-Corsair says on the box for the cooler that they offer a free AMD mounting bracket on their website with a promo code. Upon making an account and entering the promo code, it knocks the price to $0 but still charges $5 for shipping. However, since the price is $0, they don't allow me to put in credit card info. But they won't let me complete the order because I need to pay for shipping. Am I missing something or should I call and complain and basically ask to get it with free shipping because the box is totally misleading?

-What kind of overclocking can I expect out of the 1700x and the H110i, and what's a good way to start? I know the gist of how tweakings work, but I've never overclocked so I want to be sure.

-Say, hypothetically, that I wanted to RGB the bejesus out of my system. What's the play there? The cooler mentions RGB, but it didn't look like it was. I'm game to grab a few fans at Fry's, but I don't know if I need any motherboard ports or part compatibility to synchronize it.

-Oh, and I'm not forgetting anything, am I? Yes, I have an antistatic wrist strap and zip ties.

All r7 chips should overclock comfortably to 3.9-4 with that cooler. 

I don't know how to overclock ryzen though.

Definitely complain to corsair.

If your motherboard doesn't have rgb headers you need to get an rgb controller like a Hue+ or similar.
