16gb 3000mhz

any advise would be helpful thanks.

240hz likely isn't worth it

 

Should just get an 8086K and have it delidded for the best 240hz gaming

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
