hi, i am getting ready to buy this build this month. CPU: AMD RYZEN 7 7800X3D with 8 cores and 16 threads running at 4.2GHz in a box format. Motherboard: GIGABYTE B850 GAMING X WIFI6E using an AM5 socket. RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB 32GB kit of two 16GB sticks running on DDR5 at 6400MHz. Storage setup includes a Lexar NM620 1TB NVMe SSD and another Lexar NM620 256GB NVMe, with an extra 1TB WD Green hard drive acting as system backup. GPU: GIGABYTE RTX 5070Ti GAMING OC with 16GB of VRAM running on GDDR7. Power supply is a MSI A850GL PCIE5 rated for 80+ GOLD. Case is an ANTEC P20C ARGB model. The operating system is Windows 11, and I am currently using my TV as a monitor for now. Here are some questions: Is that cooling solution good enough for the 7800X3D since i don't like liquid coolers? What about the case - do i need to change it or is it fine? Any other thoughts on the parts so far? Thanks, <3

You might get more out of your cooler, especially if you use DDR5-6000 CL30 sticks with those AM5 CPUs. Where in the world do you live?

Swap your memory for a faster version called DDR5-6000, then you're ready.

If I only have RAM and a cooler, I won't get Cl 30, so is that okay?

I'm pretty sure you're still gonna go with XIGMATEK AK6( because it's cheaper, and it has more "bling")... but if you want to go with the veterans in Cooling, - Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE I also couldn't find 32GB ddr5 AMD Expo 6000Mhz CL30 in stock.

I'm not sure which one should I choose. The price difference isn't too big between the Patriot 64GB set and the Corsair set, so both look okay on paper. But the Patriot doesn't say it works with AMD, which scares me a little because my PC needs that. Anyway, this is where I'm buying my computer. If you can help me pick a better setup at UpToDate Uptodate Store, please tell me!
