i would go with the cx550 for the psu. you get better efficiency and when you want to upgrade later on you are less likely to need to buy a new psu.

tbh, every ddr4 ram is fine at this budget, go with whatever you can afford and at least 8gb of it. (you could scrape by with 4gb, but the expeirence will be terrible)

allthough two sticks of 4gb are better than 1 stick of 8gb

wait i though u can only run dual channel in 4 slots

it depends on the board, but usually in modern boards unless oyu need the slots for ridonculos amounts of ram i would go with higher capacity sticks in dual channel, thats where it usually is more cost-effective

the board is fine. The reason you dont see any clamp-like stuff that the am4 socket uses a pin-grid-arra and therefore no clamps are needen, the pins are hold in place in the socket itself

OH ok what about this board ASROCK A320M DGS MIRCO ATX AM4

Ok so a AMD RYZEN 3 Processor

And im gonna go with a MSI B350 TOMOHAWK motherboard

just a heads up with that motherboard.

the Tomahawk might come with an older Bios, which will prevent you from posting without a bios update. which would require a ryzen 7 processor to do. from what i understand the arctic version of that board doesnt have the same issue.
