Agree.

You said you won't be overclocking. Do you mean you won't overclock the CPU? Because overclocking your RAM can get you a nice free improvement in performance. Especially with AMD.

if you requirements are not to overclock, then you might consider the 2600x and the x470 mobo.

the cost involved will be higher, but you'll gain that performance boost in CPU overdrive to make it a noticeable improvement over say the 2600 and low-cost budget x/b 350/450 mobo.

 

your RAM requirement should be 3000/3200 as the internal modules on the CPU use an interconnect called infinity fabric. the faster the RAM speed the faster the instructions of the CPU. again, cost issues can be something to consider.

 

dunna know what you are using this computer for (could be a deal changer) but if gaming, 2600x/x470 and 3000MHz RAM and you'll be golden. no overclocking.
