I already have the CPU (AMD RYZEN 7 9800X3D) and storage (Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe M.2). I’m checking if the parts I have will suit the 9800X3D or if a downgrade is feasible. I’ve saved a list here:

Both are under $2500, but if they’re similar, why invest extra? Any feedback or suggestions would be welcome.
Search for DDR5-6000 CL30 if you plan to play games. Ideally, look for RAM that is AMD EXPO certified.
