Thank you for the suggestion. After installing the Peerless Assassin 120 SE V2 in the Newegg PC Builder, I encountered an error about the air cooler not matching the socket LGA 1700 on the motherboard.
You selected one stick of 16 GB RAM. Is that accurate?
You might think about a set of two sticks, each with 8 GB.
There are also several other power supplies with good ratings that could fit your budget and be available:
Corsair RM650e
Be Quiet Pure Power 13 M
MSI MAG A650GLS PCIE5
Local prices for these are not clear.
I selected the single 16GB stick to allow for adding a second one later. Is there an advantage to using one 16GB stick compared to two 8GB sticks?
The details on the listing indicate LGA1700 compatibility. It seems the builder AI might be incorrect. Also, comparing a single stick to two sticks: one stick will function in slower single-channel mode. The RAM must match for proper operation, and adding a second stick isn't assured to work. The RAM is affordable enough, so I would purchase a 2-stick set of two 16GB drives right away.
