Total is £490; the RAM price was over £200 on amazon so maybe the prices were just elevated a good while ago or they're moving old stock, either way it's been sub £100 all round the web for months now which is where I assume the bulk of the "30% off" comes from. Convenient amazon price history link here
I guess it comes pre-assembled and thus presumably ready to work without flashing the bios for a £30 premium.
3 year warranty is nice too I guess.
I didn't shop around at all though so you can probably find better deals than just double checking the component costs vs amazon.
Hope I didn't miss anything very obvious.
I think SSDs are cheap enough now that for a 1tb you'd be better off getting something like this https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Performance-Internal-SP001TBSS3A55S25/dp/B07B4G19X3/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=1tb+ssd&qid=1559335102&s=electronics&sr=1-6-spell
About the same cost as your 2 drives together and 240GB less storage, but you'll enjoy fitting that many games on the SSD. Plus by the time you run out of space, you might have the cash to upgrade to an M.2 SSD

Edit: Also, I'd go for something like this for RAM
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2GS78Z9KL72RH&keywords=3200+mhz+ddr4&qid=1559335538&s=electronics&sprefix=3200%2Celectronics%2C165&sr=1-3
Ryzen likes fast RAM, and most people consider 3200Mhz to be the minimum to consider buying. Also priced similar to the kit you have listed.
I've been running this RAM at 3200MHz, stable, since 1.2 actually. Been using A-XMP Profile 2. Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz
The RAM version is 5.39.
I haven't tried the latest 1.4 BIOS yet, but I'll do so tonight. [Edit: Updated to 1.4 and I'm still stable at 3200MHz]
lowest price for the past 120 days; not that great if comparing to year or two ago (but all memory went up due to the shortages).

Amazon has this same model for the same price if you prefer Amazon over Newegg.

I paired this with MSI Performance Gaming .. and Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB
/u/JetJaguar124 /u/Integralds
So first thing's first, Windows: ~$130 for Home Edition.
Okay, so things to keep in mind:
The GPU you should be seeking to use is the 1660 Ti, which is basically a slightly gimped RTX 2060 but without the raytracing stuff. If you are willing to spend a bit more then you could get an RX 5700 instead, which is nearly ~30% faster on average.
That'll put you at $270 - $360 depending on the model you pick. Yes, it's a third of your budget, but the GPU is the single most important part of your build.
Secondly you'll want a decent CPU to go with that.
The Ryzen 5 3600 looks like a pretty good CPU, its a bit under $200, its fairly beefy and extendable so it's somewhat "future-proof" - in that it shouldn't cause much bottlenecking and you could upgrade your GPU past a 2080 Ti before needing to change the processor.
This MSI Tomohawk Mobo looks good for the 3600.
So we're at ~$320 for that, or about $640 total. Plus windows that is ~$730.
The RAM Inty recommended before should be fine. You only really need 16 GB. This will set you back ~$80. If you find yourself wanting more RAM later down the line you can always add another pair of sticks later and double up your RAM.
That puts us at around ~$800.
$80 for a 750W Fully Modular Corsair PSU is basically a steal. It's refurbished though, although that shouldn't be a problem - especially with a PSU.
We're at ~$880.
Some good thermal paste for your CPU.
We're now at ~$890.
Storage depends on what you want to do. Do you install a lot of stuff and files at once? In which case you might want to get a nice sized SSD plus a big HDD.
For your system drive. Plenty of space, good price, AND its an nvme SSD.
That makes for ~$990.
If you need lots of extra space
If you need extreme extra space
Keyboard and case are up to you, decide as you please. For the case just make sure that it can support an ATX mobo, as the mobo listed here is full ATX. Mechanical keyboards are crack, but they tend to be more expensive so they're probably out of range. This will be another $100 to $150 depending on what you pick.
Something to keep in mind though: Your case and your monitors are basically "future proof". In other words, they won't really get "worse" with time or cause future performance issues. So monitors and case are things where you want to consider what you'll eventually want and buy ahead, even if you have to stretch a bit.
This just leaves your monitor. I would NOT recommend a 1080p monitor above 24 in. Honestly, if you can go for a 1440p monitor then do it. I'm a bit of a resolution whore tho, so if 1080p works for you then that's fine. I would also avoid TN panels - they tend to look more washed out, tinny, and have worse viewing angles . . . although they also tend to be a fair bit cheaper than the good panels (namely IPS panels).
I used to own one of these . . . it was vvy vvy gud. This is a relatively artsy monitor, so if color gamut correctness or whatever is important for you for photo or video editing or whatever, then this is a good pick. It's a bit expensive, yeah, but also super gorgeous. It also goes up to 75 Hz. Conversely, get a freesync monitor, and this one is probably good - haven't done much research on it, but Dells are generally pretty good in my experience (my current 4K monitor is a Dell too). Freesync will allow you to basically eliminate screen tearing and will provide a smoother feeling experience because it will even out frame rates better.
One last thing to keep in mind: Shopping around on ebay and other sites can save you a fair bit. My rule of thumb is to never, ever buy sensitive parts like hard-drives, cpus, or motherboards second hand or refurbished. But everything else is fair game. So refurbished GPUs, Monitors, PSUs, Cases, etc. should be fine. Pre-owned? Ehhh . . . that I'm much, much more sketchy on - personally I wouldn't, but that's just me.
So in total it'd be somewhere in the range of $1500 including monitor, OS, case, and keyboard. The system itself is around $1000. But you can perhaps knock off a hundred bucks or two by shopping around and looking for where you can buy these parts cheaper than Amazon.
But again: investing in a good monitor and case can be worth it. It means you won't have to replace it if/when you do upgrade. And worst case scenario you can offload your monitor as a side/secondary monitor when you upgrade your monitor to a new one.
Remember that Ryzen loves faster Ram. For a few bucks more you can get the 3200 speed kit.

This is not my best guide, but it is a guide. Refinements welcome.
I wish I knew where to post the refined version, because it seems wasted
on the ephemeral DT.
PC building notes, 2019 Q3
Introduction
This post is a a "guide" to PC building in late 2019. It is incomplete
in two senses. First, I make no special claims to authority or objectivity.
I'm just an enthusiast. I have only personally tested a fraction of the parts
listed below. Second, I am writing this before the Intel 10th-gen refresh
and before the release AMD's flagship 3950X. Those new parts may impact some
of the advice given below.
This guide is extremely opinionated. I will simplify and exaggerate to
keep things simple.
This post was written while drinking whisky and listening to
enka.
Internals
What's inside your PC
A PC has seven core components. They are,
and hard disk.
A word first on compatibility. The skeleton of the build is the motherboard,
and you have to make sure that every other bit is compatible with your board.
There are two CPU manufacturers, AMD and Intel; each has their own CPU
design and thus has their own motherboard type. RAM, storage, PSUs, and GPUs
are all cross-compatible with either AMD or Intel motherboards.
Motherboards come in different sizes. A case will be compatible with certain
size ranges. From small to big, these are ITX, m-ATX, ATX, and
E-ATX. You'll want to check that your motherboard can fit in your case.
CPUs
AMD's most current CPUs are the 3000-series Ryzen chips. There are a bunch
of them, but the only two you have to care about are the
The other options are the 3600X, the 3800X, and the 3900X. None of these
are interesting compared to the two listed above, and can be safely ignored.
Intel's current CPUs are the 9th-gen Core chips. I would only seriously
consider two of these chips,
and I'd ignore the rest. If you want to spend less than $350 on a CPU,
then go AMD. If you want to spend more than $350 on a CPU,
go Intel.
A word about prior-gen chips. The AMD 2000 series (2700X, 2600) and the
Intel 8th gen series (8700K) are still viable at the right price. Look at
benchmarks. More on that later.
A word about lower-spec CPUs. AMD sells cheap CPUs that have integrated
graphics. That means you don't need to buy a graphics card with these chips.
As such, a build with the 3400G or 3200G can be extremely inexpensive. Consider
them for office use or basic builds that don't require heavy graphics.
I have personally tested them and they play 4K video flawlessly; they should
be perfectly adequate for basic tasks.
For scientific workloads, ask me to write another post. I can't cover
everything here.
Motherboard
Motherboards only accept either AMD or Intel CPUs, but not both, so you must
choose a board that is compatible with your CPU.
Once you decide between AMD or Intel, you can proceed to figure out which
motherboard you want. There are approximately six billion boards. For AMD,
skip the hassle and just buy the
Note the "MAX." The Tomahawk was released during the 1000- and 2000-series
of AMD processors. The MAX variant is compatible with 3000-series chips
out of the box.
For Intel, I know far less. Any Z390 board should be acceptable.
For AMD, the new X570 boards are available as well. They are pricey and
overkill for 90% of desktop users. Feel free to skip them. Look out for the
B550 boards that are to be released in 2020Q1.
GPU
There are two main manufacturers of GPUs: AMD and Nvidia. Confusingly, they
do not sell GPUs themselves, but market them through partners like MSI,
EVGA, PowerColor, Sapphire, etc.
The GPU stack is a little confusing.
That chart lists all of the main GPUs on the market, and if you count, there
are over 25 GPUs listed. Multiply 25 GPUs by 10 or so board partners,
multiplied again by the fact that each partner sells multiple types of the same
GPU, and you have a recipe for an absolute nightmare of a market.
The prices are only approximate.
Let me cut through the fog. You should buy one of
Pick your price point.
RAM
RAM is distinguished by its generation. We are currently on DDR4, with
DDR5 to come in either 2020 or 2021. This part is easy. Just buy
16GB of DDR4 3200-speed RAM and be done with it.
This kit
will set you back $75 to $85 depending on the day of the week and will perform
adequately for 99.98% of users.
Storage
In 2019, there is no excuse for not buying fast solid-state storage.
For 90% of users, you should buy either the 500GB or 1TB variant of the
Intel 660p and call it a day.
This reviewer
is 100% paid off by Intel, but he's also right on this topic. Buy a 660p
and rest easy.
For enthusiasts, the 660p uses new, cheap, somewhat fragile QLC NAND technology
and you might want to go with a Samsung 970 instead.
That does it for your boot drive. If you need further long-term storage for
music, movies, videos, games, etc, look into either Seagate or WD's 8TB to
12TB options.
I personally have a few WD Gold 12TB drives. They're pricey, but they're
enterprise-grade and haven't done me wrong yet. My firm, which buys storage
by the truckload, loves these things. They rarely fail.
I personally am using a 660p for OS, a second SSD for
some of my media, and HDDs for long-term storage.
Power
I have neither the time nor the expertise to get into a deep discussion of
power supplies. The topic is apparently very complicated. You should buy
something in the 550W to 750W from a manufacturer like Corsair, EVGA,
or CoolerMaster. Make sure it has the number of VGA connectors that your GPU
requires.
Case
The case is the place to really personalize your build. Try not to spend
more than $100, though; at the end of the day, it's just a steel box.
Peripherals
In some ways, the bits outside the computer are more important than the bits
inside. After all, these are the bits you interact with on a daily basis.
Monitors
Monitors are distinguished by size and resolution.
The resolutions available are 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. I recommend the following.
You may also care about refresh rate; the most common refresh rates are 60Hz
and 144Hz. These only matter for gaming.
One particular sweet spot is the "1440p, 27", 144Hz refresh rate" class. Look
up benchmarks and comparison videos.
Keyboard
Pick to taste. Some swear by mechanical keyboards. Others buy standalone
keyboards that mimic the laptop keyboard that they're used to.
Mouse
I have used the Logitech G500 and Logitech G403, and both are fine. They're
somewhat expensive and will run you about $70.
Sound
There are a million ways to fulfill your sound needs. For wired headsets,
the bone-stock recommendation is the AudioTechnica ATH-M50x.
For speakers, I can recommend the Klipsch 2+1.
For more earphone and headphone suggestions, ask me for an extended discussion.
Chair and desk
Don't neglect these. You'll be sitting at that chair for several hours per
day, and you'll use that desk forever. Measure how wide your monitors will be
and buy a desk accordingly. Go to an office supply shop and sit in a few chairs;
pick one that you like. Your desk and chair will last forever, so don't be
afraid to spend a little money here.
Advice
Read Logical Increments in its entirety.
Watch videos from real, serious hardware reviewers. I recommend
Gamers Nexus, Paul's Hardware, and Hardware Unboxed. Anyone else is either
subpar or bought out or provides worthless advice.
Do research, think for yourself, and ask me questions. I'll either give you
advice or point you to reliable resources if I think my advice would be lacking.
>Mhz really doesn't matter at all
>
>CAS latency
How does that even fit into the same message? You're completely wrong.
TL;DR. No, the RAM clock means a lot. Detailed explanation with examples and math below.
Your comparison to cars is also completely off the mark. To even bring it to something remotely correct, you have to account for the different cars, where slower RAM is an industrial truck running in higher gear, whereas the faster RAM is a sports supercar running 1 gear below the truck, so a truck in 4th gear with medium RPM against a supercar in 3rd gear with high RPM, going in a straight line on a completely flat asphalt road. Want to take a guess which one would win?
I'll even ignore the fact that higher-clocked RAM often has same CAS latency than lower-clocked RAM for the sake of argument.
So here's an explanation of how Mhz and CAS latency really work, which illustrates this point. First off, CAS latency is literally measured in memory cycles, which are measured in Mhz. I'll operate with nanoseconds in my calculations, so Mhz will be translated to Ghz (1Ghz is 10\^9 hz, while 1ns=10\^-9 sec) for easier-to-read numbers.
Say you have a typical 3200Mhz RAM stick (16gb, 75$) with 16 CAS latency. Keeping in mind that the bandwidth for memory commands operate at half the spec clock, we come to 3200Mhz for data transfer, but only 1600Mhz (1600 million per second, or 1.6 billion) for memory commands. Time for one full cycle is thus 1/1600000000 = 0.625ns. Then we multiply that value by the CAS latency number to translate cycles from latency to seconds: 0.625 * 16 = 10ns. This is the real latency of such a stick.
For comparison, let's take this G.Skill memory set (16gb, 70$ - I couldn't find faster) with 2666Mhz and 15 CAS latency. Doing the same procedure, we get 1.333Ghz clock for command interface, full cycle time of 1/1333000000 = 0.750ns, and finally the real latency of 0.750 * 15 = 11.25ns.
If you take RAM with even higher clocks, the difference will be even bigger, for instance RAM with 3600Mhz and 19 CAS latency (10.6ns) would still be faster than 2666Mhz 15 CAS one (11.25ns).
Not only is the first set clocked higher, which brings additional advantages with certain CPU models, especially Ryzen, it also has lower actual latency despite having higher CAS latency. It is literally better in every single aspect that concerns performance. To match that at all, the slower 2666Mhz stick would need 13 CAS latency (that would bring it to 9.75ns), and I couldn't find memory like that. Or in reverse, to make the higher-clocked memory run as slow as the lower-clocked one, you would need 17 CAS latency (would bring it to 11.33ns), which would make the real latency only marginally bigger (we're talking about fractions of a nanosecond here) while having significantly higher throughput, so it would still be faster overall.
So yeah, I would say Mhz of the RAM means a whole lot, while it is actually hard to find higher-clocked RAM with CAS latency bad enough to make it slower than lower-clocked RAM.
Not really worth it considering the 3200 MHz kit is less than £5 more expensive.
is this better or worse than this one?

hate to do this but the new version of that ram is going for only $70 brand new on amazon. ram prices have plummeted in the past few months
I have these
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0143UM4TC/
with my Vega 56 + 2700x at 1080p, is their frequency fine or any recommendations for RAM that would suit my build better?
You could also go with a ryzen 2700x based system like u/rtkierke said and that would give you 2 more cores and 4 more threads, just make sure to get fast ram with ryzen to have the best possible experience. Something like this corsair kit or if you wanna keep with RGB you could get this kit
Upgrade that ram, ryzen LOVES high speed. Get something like 2x8gb 3200: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC Only $20 more
For the case I would use this: https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Rackmount-Computer-Pre-Installed-RSV-R4000/dp/B0091IZ1ZG and take off the rackmount ears.
Any word on how the Corsair Vengeance IPX ram fairs?
Specifically this kit:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0143UM4TC
(Technically, 2 of these kits...)
The most important things with RAM (besides being the right type for your computer, such as DDR4), are: size (GB), clockspeed (mhz), and CAS timing (typically some number between 8-20).
The bigger the size the better, but these day 16GBs of ram is recommended, 32GB max for most users. The higher the clockspeed the better, but typically you get the most bang for your buck around 3000mhz or 3200mhz, over 3200 you tend to get diminishing performance returns for far higher cost; Also, make sure your motherboard supports the given clockspeed. CAS timing, this is a little complicated, but long story short the lower the timing the better, and the ram's actual performance is based on some equation of like clockspeed divided by cas timing or such. For 3200MHz ram, the typical cas timing is 16 (specifically "16, 18, 18, 18, 36", but don't worry about those other numbers, just the first one).
For good highspeed DDR4 ram that isn't crazy, I would recommend these.
Worth noting, if you have different ram in your computer running at different speeds, all of your ram will run as slow as the slowest ramstick. For that and some other reasons, it is best to keep all the ram in your PC the same type, so that they will all perform the same.
I just built a system with the r5 3600 and the stock cooler has been fine even with overclocking to 4.1ghz. This depends if your case has decent airflow. Maybe don't spend the money on a cpu cooler until you test out the stock cooler and determine if its worth the cost. The r5 3600 has a pretty low tdp of 65w and doesn't need crazy coolers like the old fx cpu's
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0143UM4TC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this ram is also pretty good for the price. I would rather have corsair than team force unless you really want the rgb
Also you might want to look at this ssd https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-512GB-Gen3x4-SU512GBP34A80M28AB/dp/B07L6DKM8V/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=silicon+power+m2&qid=1574562671&sr=8-4 Around the same price but way faster speed. 3gb per second vs 500mbs. Seems like pcie ssd are only a bit more expensive than Sata ssd which is weird as they are way better speed.
People don't know how to read the title lmao. C14S is the best air cooler for the NCase.
If you get:
You will prolly only be left with like $300ish for the gpu. Maybe a 1660 ti or 2060 super? Might be ok with a SF450 instead of the SF600 depending on your gpu, that would save a bit. Could also opt to get a lower mobo since x570's main draw is the pcie 4.
Might be able to find better deals come cyber monday/black friday, but buying used would prolly help save more and you wouldn't need to wait for a sale.

With such a budget you should definitely consider getting some higher speed RAM. Higher Speed RAM is VERY important with a Ryzen CPU. I recommend having a RAM of around 3000-3200 Mhz Speed.
Take a look at this 3200 Mhz, use this RAM. This is in USD money but it translates to $254.38 AUD.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=twister_B01M33CGCY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Also you do not have to get liquid metal, but if I were you I would get the Arctic MX-4. I heard it is slightly better then the Silver 5 and you can get it for cheaper if you get a smaller tube. ($8.50 AUD)
https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-MX-4-Compound-Performance-Interface/dp/B0045JCFLY/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1524628483&sr=1-3&keywords=arctic+mx-4
I also know you said you don't want to go for a better CPU but with such a powerful GPU I am worried your 1700X might cause a bottleneck. I'd say go for the 1800X due to its higher base clock and overall slightly improved core performance. Or just go for Intel since their CPUs are much more performance based rather then budget based which is what AMD's CPUs are.
Is there really a difference between this Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 X 8GB) DDR4 3200 RAM "for AMD" VS this one?
If you are going Corsair you can save money with the LPX modules:

Minor difference in PSU and GPU, but should be about the same.
I have 2 8GB sticks of this ram (3200, 16-18-18-36) that are new and unopened. Would it be worth it to return them and pay $10 more for these? I have a Ryzen 5 3600, a B450 Tomahawk, and a 2070s.
Just a heads up for the LPX RAM, you can get the same kit brand new, not acting wonky, and in 3200MHz CL16 for $66 on Amazon
This is a decent price for 3200 currently: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0143UM4TC/
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC
Higher quality, same speed, @ only $5 more.
CPU|Ryzen 5 1500X
Motherboard|MSI B350 PC MATE
RAM|Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB
GPU|ASUS ROG-STRIX-GTX 1080Ti
This might be a little out of your price, but I did my best. You could drop the price lower by going with 8GB of RAM instead of 16GB. The 1080Ti took up a vast majority of the budget, but I don't think going for the 1500X will impact performance much. The 1500X also comes with a fairly good stock cooler (Wraith Cooler).
2666 is official certified but XMP profile goes much higher. I agree with others saying that 3000 / 3200 ram is best value. I just bought this RAM recently for my upcoming 8700K build. It's not a great time to buy RAM with the prices where they're at but what can you do..
1050ti is weaker than your 1060
Imo your best option for now would be to buy a new cpu, a new motherboard, 16gb ram and a cpu cooler (assuming you don't have one
And when you can, upgrade your gpu.
I'm assuming your case etc.. is fine
Honestly your build seems pretty good, you might want to fork out a bit extra for some slightly faster ram. I’m pretty sure you should be able to get a 16gb 3000mhz cl15 kit of vengeance lpx off of Amazon.
Edit: I found this on amazon Australia, you might want to consider https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_c_A7lXDbTKMDARP
Tying to figure out what is the best DDR4 RAM (16GB total) for a ryzen 9 3900x (or ryzen 5 3600) ?
I've read that the DDR4 PC3600 (PC28800) were one of the best with these Ryzen / AM4 socket.
(I don't want High Perf / Highly Overclockable RAM, just the best RAM for the bucks)
is those 2 similar and among the best choices?

Hi guys. The Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB pack is already 25% off ($20). Could I expect a bigger discount further this week?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=twister_B07W36NHV8?_encoding=UTF8&th=1
3200MHz at 15-15-15-36 are also $69.99 without a discount.
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3000MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/?th=1&psc=1
I suggest the B350 Tomahawk with this ram. It is verified working at 3200.
Mhm, makes sense! I don't think I have any more questions to ask, so thank you very much for your time and guidance!
My wish-list now looks like this:

Something like this
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_8XT1Cb41HZ6V0
Seems good, but I obviously didn’t know what to get to start so if you don’t mind, is that good?
You might need to lower your price a bit mate, on amazon its £86 for 2 * 8gb, which has the added benefit of leaving 2 slots open for more RAM in the future

Also, prices of RAM have halfed in the past year. Good for those buying now, not good for people who bought last year when it was expensive and are trying to resell now
i have the cpu it holds up but i would recommend swapping out the mobo for the MSI bazooka v2 , more lanes for ram and i also have the mobo its pretty good. I believe corsair vengeance 3200mhz is on sale right now on amazon!!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ajT7CbS7C8TNX
faster ram !
and for the gpu a 570 or 580 would be fine, around $150 or less

Here you go
The same one as yours @ 3200mhz in Amazon.
I was looking at this ram
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMK16GX4M2B3200C16-Vengeance-Performance-Desktop/dp/B0143UM4TC
so CAS 16 3200mhz.
That motherboard is pretty expensive here in the uk (£80 on amazon) but I'll keep an eye out to see if it goes on sale closer to black friday.
Thanks
Your upgrade looks like it will be way cheaper than mine was.
I got the Rift on sale for $350, but my PC was like 10 years old with only a new SSD in it.
Ended up getting an i5-9600K + MSI Z390 Gaming Edge for $470, 16 GB of RAM, Cooler Master 212 EVO which turned out to be huge and a huge pain in the ass to install (I recommend watching the video on that page that I didn't notice until after I installed the thing with only it's Ikea-like instructions.), but that big fan means it's far quieter than the tiny stock fans processors usually come with. The i5-9600K does not come with a fan either, so I had no choice and this was the most popular one on NewEgg.
Also got myself an MSI Gaming X GTX 1070 used on Ebay for $270. And because it only has one HDMI port, I decided to use that for the RIFT because it was less risky, and got a Displayport to HDMI cable which supports audio for my monitor which has the speakers built in and does not have a Displayport connector. Only afterward while taking my PC apart however did I realize I had the HMDI cable plugged into my old card with a DVI adapter, and the Gaming X has a DVI port as well, so I could have saved the money on the cable. :(
Also at the last minute I had to run out and grab a Corsair 750W power supply because my perfectly good Coolermaster 750W power supply did not have an 8 pin connector for my CPU. Of course, when I got it home it did not have the 4 pin connector and the motherboard has both a 4 pin and 8 pin and I assumed both would be needed, but I gave it a shot and just having the 8 pin was fine. But now I wonder if just having the 4 pin would also have been fine. The damn manual doesn't have a thing to say about it being okay to just use one of them, but being an electrical engineer I have to assume they're both tied to the same rail on the board, so I'm just gaining a bit more copper to lower the voltage drop if I were to connect a 4 pin as well, and the system seems perfectly stable, so perhaps they included the second connector to help with overclocking. I dunno.
Anyway, final tally including the Rift without a third sensor was $1,339.
And if you're wondering why I didn't go with AMD, well, I could have but when I priced it out, I wasn't actually going to save that much. And the Intel seemed like it would perform better with both games and applications and would just be less likely to have any issues like the Vive and its wireless solution do with AMD processors.
Part of the reason the AMD was not much cheaper is the same MSI motherboard would have been more expensive as an AMD variant and while the AMD included a cooler, the Cooler Master one was only $30 and had a bigger fan which meant it would likely be quieter. Though the AMD does run at a lower wattage, so it could be a toss up. All I know is my old PC sounded like a jet engine when I started doing any heavy lifting with 3D graphics, and it was still kinda noisy otherwise, but now its super quiet and even when running 3D apps that MSI card which I specifically chose because it's one of the quietest, was indeed really quiet.
Speaking of the 1070, my god that is a monster of a card! I barely fit it in my case. And my case is a full size tower. But it has extra 3.5" bays down the bottom where I have my hard drives installed and I had to move them down some more to get it to fit and it only barely slid in behind the metal frame of the drive bay.
Only other thing to mention is while I had no problem fitting my two ram sticks on the motherboard, that Cooler Master cooler's fan would probably collide with one of the ram sticks if I were to install four in there. I think the fan can slide up and down on the cooler though, so perhaps as long as you have low profile ram, you could slide it up a smidge or two to make it fit. Something to consider if you think you may eventually want 32 or 64GB of ram.
Thanks for the answer. I had a hard time googling it, I don't know why. This is quite unfortunate since I was planning on some day updating cooling to the Noctua NH-D15 or something. I guess I will simply have to exchange LED to LPX. CMU16GX4M2C3200C16R was what I ordered...
I guess then that CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 is what I want? Equivalent in performance but low profile (and no LED)?
Well I would recommend Getting something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMK16GX4M2B3200C16-Vengeance-Performance-Desktop/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1549448311&sr=1-1&keywords=3200mhz+ram
​
IMO 3200MHz is really the sweet spot for DDR4. There are kits with a C14 timings on the market at that frequency but they cost £100 more(at least here in the UK) so it's not worth it.
https://www.amazon.com.au/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1550487785&sr=8-2-fkmr0&pi=AC_SX118_SY170_QL70&keywords=CMD16GX4M2B3000C15%2Bv5.39&th=1&psc=1
Its this kit and the timings are showing up as 16-17-17-35, which I believe is the advertised timings as well.
Hey, I took the guy above's advice and picked out some faster RAM. I chose the Corsair Vengeance since I get free 2 day shipping.
If you wanted to stay at the same price, I found this Team Dark 16GB DDR4 3000, but you'd have to get them soon since the sale on them ends Thursday.
 
If you're tight on money, the black version is available for $10 cheaper on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-PC4-25600-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495138023&sr=8-1&keywords=Corsair+-+Vengeance+LPX+16GB+%282+x+8GB%29+DDR4-3200
I hadthe budget of getting the Elite, but decided to use the cost savings from not getting that to upgrade other components instead. The tempered glass is really nice, but I just made do with what I got.
While it isn't the most pretty thing, my workaround for a headphone holder: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71SPY3VRLzL._AC_UL320_SR310,320_.jpg
 
For 6 more dollars u can get the 3200 version of ur ram, also go with a gold rated power supply for better efficiency. Also on the power supply u can do the mail and rebate and get $20 back.

Isn't this the same kit for $65 on Amazon?
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC
Also is this Samsung b die?
This RAM kit is on the QVL for your motherboard and is identified as Samsung B-die. It's rated to run at DDR4 3200 with your board. It looks like a good option to me.
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519792508&sr=8-1&keywords=CMK16GX4M2B3200C16
For an extra 10$ you can the 3200 instead of the 3000 version of the ram you're buying.
3200ram: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC
Some case fans would be nice too(case only comes with 2). Good luck :)
You could get away with one for a while but the 3700x will last longer with more cores. I like the PSU choice but that memory is way overpriced for what it is - https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC
I mean if you live near a Micro Center you can get a 2700x (as of yesterday) for under $200 so that is why I say wait until the new CPUs come out as the price might come down a bit or you realize you can afford the new tech and get a better boost. For 16GB of RAM you are looking around $80-$100 for solid RAM with good speed, example here. Yeah, people will opt for a smaller SSD which mainly contains the operating system and some other programs. Games, Photos, Videos and such are just stored on the traditional drives since boot time isn't as big of a concern.
Definitely. You might also want to bring it down to 30 FPS until you get some really high end components. I think it would also be worth looking into getting some paired sticks of RAM at a higher base clock. Most RAM clocks in at around 2000 MHz, but you can get stuff at over 3000 MHz for maybe $10 extra as long as your motherboard supports it. Here's a good set IMO: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz
Well that sucks.. this is a good choice if you can't wait for prices to drop / restock.
Found these on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.in/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/
or get 2 of these: https://www.amazon.in/Corsair-Vengeance-3000Mhz-Motherboard-CMK8GX4M1D3000C16/dp/B07B4FRMGV/
how do u know what sort of die ram is?
i have this https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=corsair+3200mhz+ddr4+16gb&qid=1564961098&s=gateway&sr=8-3
If you bought that 4460 new, then replacing your PSU is probably a good preventative measure. I doubt that you need to, but since it powers everything, there's an uncomfortably high (but honestly, relatively low) chanve that it could fry some electronics when it inevitably fails. So spending an extra $80-$100 on a much, high quality PSU would be something to look into, though it mostly helps with longevity.
If your PSU is less than 3 years old, or you already have a high quality pay that you trust, that money would better be spent on a SSD upgrade. Also, make sure to backup your data before you upgrade everything; worst case scenario, you put a fresh install of Windows on your old HDD (or brand new SSD) and then restore files from a backup (stored on a seperate drive) for that fresh, and yet still familiar Windows experience. Just moving your HDD over and expecting it to work is kinda asking for trouble.
Also Also, if you can, make sure you have a copy of your Windows Activation Key before the upgrade. Windows may be marked as inactive after the change; a call to microsoft support should fix it if push comes to shove, but having the key simplifies the process.
Finally, have you considered upgrading to an AMD system? If you're buying that i5 9600k as a budget option, you may want to look into the price/performance king right now, which I believe is a ryzen 5 3600 (released earlier this week) coupled with a b450 series board. I think that comes out to around $300 before RAM, definitely shop around though.
Edit: If you don't plan on overclocking your RAM, this seems like a nice budget option: $75 for 16 GB Ddr4-3200
It looks that, 3200 mhz cl14 is not really available, quick search on amazon:

I got my wife the Corsair Vengeance kit (she has the same MB and CPU as you). Works perfectly.

£258.52 all from amazon, I was looking at the 2600 standard to start with but for an extra £13 or so with the higher clock speeds and improved cooler, this looks to be the ideal one!
Is this RAM compatible with my motherboard?

Ryzan 7 1800X
Corsair H100i v2
Asus B350-F
Corsair 16GB 3200MHz RAM
So that is the high end Ryzen CPU. With that Mobo you can over clock and the liquid CPU cooler will keep it all cool. The ram is high clock so you get the best out of Ryzen.
show me your secrets. I turn A-XMP profile on and it fails to post. Even at 3000mhz it can't post

This is literally the same combo I just purchased today.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0143UM4TC/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
It is not directly on the list, but based on my findings CMK16GX4M2B3200C16R and CMK16GX4M2B3200C16W are, which based on a simple check, are just the red and white versions of the same RAM (mine is black)
So with that said, according to MSI, this ram should hit 3200 for Ryzen. I cannot verify since my stuff isn't going to ship to me until next week sadly :-/
I ended up going for an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 which I intend to overclock a bit with stock cooler, and then when I get the AM4 bracket for my Corsair Hydro 90, I want to overclock to 4ghz if possible.
For my Ryzen 1600 build I bought a Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 motherboard and GeiL Evo X 3000 memory. (Bought for $145). I'm wondering if I should return the memory and go for this instead.
Would it be worth the extra money for 3200 vs 3000? I bought the GeiL memory because it's on Gigabytes memory QVL, but I'm second guessing my choice now and wondering if I should go for the faster memory and hope that it either works out of the box, or will work in the (hopefully) not too distant future.
What do you guys think, stick with what I've got or go with the Corsair memory? Thanks!
The RAM you have listed is waaaay too expensive for the speed. You can go with 16gb crucial value ram on Amazon for $103 or look for faster RAM (~3000-3200mhz) for the price you're at. Supposedly faster RAM helps with ryzen.
Edit: $103 https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00MMLUYPG/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1493304156&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=crucial+ddr4&dpPl=1&dpID=517rjqIRSPL&ref=plSrch

Pm me if you have questions
Hi, so I put it together but I'm having some issues. I'm not sure if they're because I'm a first time builder or because I bought this ram: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0143UM4TC/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&psc=1 instead of the one listed by you guys because it was out of stock when I was ordering parts. Or maybe faulty hardware.
Basically, my PC only sometimes sends a full signal to the monitor when turning it on. The monitor often just enters power saving mode. It's not the monitors problem.
When it does send the signal, I can only play about 2 minutes of a game before I get a ton of white square artifacts on my screen, game freeze, and then it automatically restarts. I don't believe this really happens outside of a game.
Could I have possibly shorted the motherboard when trying to align the support screws with the motherboard holes? Could this be a driver issue? Or is my gpu faulty? It will take forever to RMA.
I will be troubleshooting it this weekend while meeting up with a friend who is a little more knowledgeable than me with computers. Any ideas for tests?
This is the RAM I'm using.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0143UM4TC/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I put the old ram back and it still doesnt work. The PC only turns on. The model of the old RAM is XPG ADATA AX4U300038G16-BWZ DDR4 3000MHz 8GB. The new RAM was Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16)
I have the corsair LPX 3200h 2x8 black. I was going to return it to amazon because I don't need it anymore. But if you want, I can sell it to you for the same price, $148. amazon link

i7 7700k OC to 4.5ghz | GTX 980 | no special requirements in the nvidia control panel.
You can get 2x8GB Ram 3200Mhz for 129.99 right now on Amazon
And a 1TB SSD Samsung Evo for $147.99 on Amazon
Or upgrade the CPU to a 2600x or a 2700x
Graphics card upgrade you could get an RX580 8GB for $190 on Newegg
Would this RAM work well with a Ryzen 5 1600?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0143UM4TC/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Or should I get lower speed RAM?
Do you know about NVME SSDs? I would aim for that if disk access is important enough. The speed benefit is quite impressive.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJCHx7mZEKo
That video explains it well.
As far as RAM, I am still a little confused. I recently built a ryzen 1600 and put in 3200. I am yet to fully feel confident that I made the right choice.
I don't have a build complete post, but here is my motherboard and ram.
Jeez, I'm actually not sure... here's a link to my RAM.
I'll think about the CPU then, is there something I may have forgot to mention where I would need the i7?
https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B0143UM4TC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H

Hate to be a pain, but can you help me understand how much room that Reeven would need for my ram?
I use 32gb of https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0143UM4TC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And it says "Low-profile design fits in smaller spaces "
Think I can pull the trigger on the Reeven with those modules?
how does this compare to the vengeance LPX 3200MHz?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0143UM4TC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

edit: didn't see that it can't be shipped to NZ
2 weeks ago bought Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 for $87.73 after tax on Amazon. It's only $17 difference. Can still return it. Worth it?
P.S. Why is NewEgg not charging me any taxes for anything I buy from their site? (edit) quick google search, found that Newegg doesn't have any warehouses in Florida so they can't tax. Confirm?
I bought this in April 2016 for 79.99. I can't believe the prices now.
Shoot! Just put the 140mm up top and 120mm right below and screwed em' in! What's the reason for 140mm in the middle? More air to the GPU? Seems like up top it would better cool the CPU (8700k which I heard runs toasty)
Was planning on using both the included fans on the DH15. I think I bought low-profile RAM. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0143UM4TC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Awesome - exactly the response I was looking for, thank you.
I ended up getting these:

I am not sure is there a website that I can refer myself to?

Looking for advice on which of the two following ram kits would pair better with a Ryzen 5 2600, not sure if C16 vs C15 and if 3200 vs 3000MHz will make much of a difference but looking for opinions on which is the better kit, links below to both kits for reference.
kit 1 link: https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=16+gb+memory&qid=1555374300&s=gateway&sr=8-4

I took into consideration your comments and i've adjusted my build, any thoughts?
I switched my Original MOBO to this one: ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard (ATX) AMD Ryzen 2 AM4 DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 Gen2 B450
and my RAM to this one: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16)
​
And I lowered my SSD price tot this one, sacrifcing 20GB because i dont think i need more than 480: Kingston A400 SSD 480GB SATA 3 2.5” Solid State Drive SA400S37/480G - Increase Performance
Yeah it makes sense, would that one be better ? it's only 10 more $

​
(link says 3000mhz but it's 3200mhz)
what about these, worth it for $30 more?
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=ram+3200mhz&qid=1554597581&s=gateway&sr=8-3
Which RAM is better? 3000MHz CAS15 or 3200MHz CAS16?
You shouldn't need a cooler unless you're planning to push for high overclocks. The stock cooler is said to be pretty damn good even at moderate overclocks. Also https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC/?tag=pcpapi-20 would save you five bucks in memory on amazon. I'm waiting for the last part to arrive on a nearly identical rig, and several reviews mentioned this ram getting the box speed on the 2600x/tomahawk so that's what I went with.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sjVDYT
I would also put serious consideration into a 750w PSU. I almost went with the EVGA 750 G3, but a great seasonic went on sale. Should only cost $10 more than your 650.
As for monitors, i love my (not an IPS) Dell S2716DG. I went with gsync over IPS to save money, and I honestly don't think I could do without anymore.
There's these but I don't know what motherboard you have so I don't know the max memory speed it supports
No it's a 16GB set. Here's the link to what I ordered from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC?creativeASIN=B0143UM4TC&linkCode=w61&imprToken=NqJUlPfKaOzy8xC47K7LpQ&slotNum=12&tag=wepcus-20
Yes, the prices are much better now, after the whole Bitcoin craze. I just bought a Sapphire Radeon RX 5700xt for $400. However, since you're looking for minimum GPU requirements, this is a cheap suggestions as well:

Also, RAM is very cheap right now, just look at this 16 GB pair I bought a couple weeks back:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1
Personally, with how low prices are, I'd just build a new PC since your last one was around 8 years ago.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017WST5EE/?tag=pcpapi-20
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC/?tag=pcpapi-20
either of these should be good enough, 2666-3200mhz ram speed will be good. and 16gb

Taking the plunge and building my own PC. Chosen Ryzen 3600 as my CPU and I'm confused with RAM compatibility. Am I correct to assume this ram; https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0143UM4TC/?tag=gamicare-21&th=1 (Corsair Vengeance lxp 16gb ddr4 3200 c16) will run correctly?
I've seen a few people say it just won't run in their systems and its only for intel.
Motherboard will be ASRock X570
Thanks for reading!
Yah I somehow have no clue what I'm talking about but somehow called it when I said you probably bought trash SK Hynix RAM... Just because it's on some dumb bs QVL doesn't guarantee it will work. Instead of blowing your wad on RGBEEEES you should of bought a quality RAM kit with Samsung B-Dies (G Skill TridentZ, FlareX, etc) or Micron E-Die (Crucial Ballistix Sport, etc).
For the 3200mhz corsair lpx vengeance ram, you didn't provide the exact model but I'm guessing it's these which are definitely SK Hynix crap..
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC
https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/650f30/hynix_memory_3200_mhz_on_latest_msi_b350_tomahawk/
Thes are definitely SK Hynix A-Die - F4-3600C18D-16GTZN

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/PRIME_X470-PRO/Memory_QVL_for_3rd_Gen_AMD_Ryzen_Processors.pdf
^ This list should show you which chips are in which kits. Note that some manufactures of RAM kits will bait and switch by switching chips. They'll send out something with B-Die to reviewers or in the initial batch and then switch to SK Hynix crap.
The other thing is you never provided your PSU model which also plays an important role. I'd recommend sticking to Seasonic, re-badged PSU which are actually Seasonics or higher end Corsair models.

I like the LPX line.
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Will this RAM work fine with 3600X and B450 Tomahawk MAX?
Does the whole "B-Die/E-Die vs Hynix-Die" still matters, or will it work fine?
I'd suggest just getting a kit of at least 3000MHz or higher 16GB ram. You ram is pretty slow, if you did get more to add on it could still be better. It's dirt cheap right now, just pick this up and you should be fine. Sorry for US link, but it should fine pretty cheap in Canada too I imagine.
I'm you're unfamiliar with RAM speeds, you have to set it in the bios for it to take advantage, so make sure you do that or it'll probably run at like 2400 MHz by default.
Thanks!
Um, they are almost 50 USD apart:
3600: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AKWSUOU/
3200: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC/
That translates to almost 80 USD extra in Japan.
Do you think it's worth it?

The ram I have is this . https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC
Can I just overclock my cpu only or do I need to update my bios and ram first?
Definitely be on the lookout for a Ryzen 5 2600. I currently have a FX-6300 and I’m looking to upgrade to the Ryzen. Corsair vengeance lpx is about 67$ for 16gb, DDR4 3200 MHz ram on amazon right now.
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC . Since you’re relatively low budget you can go for a micro atx motherboard (smaller size and less slots) that’ll be a tad bit cheaper, and with the bundle it can go even lower. Good luck with your build!
like what i do is just search the actual number thats listed as the item so CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 example of your first one comes up 30 bucks cheaper on amazon US https://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-TridentZ-288-Pin-3200MHz-F4-3200C14D-16GTZSK/dp/B01M1HHK3N/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=F4-3200C14D-16GTZSK&qid=1572981987&sr=8-1

La ram 80€? Ci sono 2x8 GB sempre della Corsair, ma DDR4 e a 3200 mhz a 76€ su Amazon.
Per il resto però hai ragione, il processore ormai è vecchiotto, così come la scheda madre, che non è compatibile con le ram ddr4 nè con processori più recenti, e lo so perché è lo stesso modello che avevo io, quindi se quello a cui lo vendi vuole fare upgrade in futuro si trova un po' nelle peste. La 1070 è ancora un'ottima scheda, però fra 1660ti e serie 2000 di opzioni più recenti ed economicamente competitive se ne trovano. Anche per le SSD devi tenere presente che di recente i prezzi sono scesi parecchio, e infatti quello che hai preso tu sta a 30€ sempre su amazon.
400€ in ogni caso secondo me è un po' pochino non fosse altro per la 1070, ma allo stesso tempo mi sembra difficile giustificare un prezzo che vada oltre i 500€ - 550€, anche considerato che per quanto riguarda il gaming siamo a fine generazione console e uno ormai se cerca una ps4 pro o una xb1 le trova a prezzi molto più bassi

Really interested in the X370 killer/ac or B350 Gaming K4 now. Can you get a full 3200MHz ram speed with those if I were to purchase something like these? Is the ram speed issue something that will be fixed down the road with further bios updates?
Forgive my ignorance with this but I have to ask...
Recently I got a Ryzen 5 1600 + the GA-B350-Gaming3 + Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 ram. Currently it's stuck at 2400mhz, would a motherboard firmware update in the future mean I could get it up to full speed or am I always going to limited by the motherboard?
Yeah, the guy at the store "looked" it up on the qvl list for me. Serves me right for not doing enough research on my own I guess.
Is this the ram you have? https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-PC4-25600-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC

You definitely can. I had my NH-D15 in a nano-s before, and actually had to downsize the front fan and move it up slightly due to interference from the 24 pin ATX cable. That is why I am still using the smaller fan in front, even though I am now in a larger case.
That said, I would still personally choose LPX ram to avoid any potential issues. As somebody who likes his baby-head sized air coolers I've never once thought to myself "BOY I WISH I HAD TALLER RAM". It isn't like LPX is particularly expensive either.

Sorry I updated the original post to specify the exact motherboard. It is the Prime x370-A. I know the -Pro and -A have a few differences, but have noticed both have had recent bios updates, so I should still be good?
Was mainly thinking of getting this:

You can save over £100 by using this ram instead: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mdu7CbJC4S2Y
Can I ask why you chose the £200 ram?
would this ram fit on this motherboard?
I have this for $85 shipped.

Okay, thanks! These rams always feel scary to purchase lol
​
EDIT: What makes this better than Corsair Vengeance LPX which is the same price as this with same 3200 speed?

I have a 4790K and 980ti and get around 90-100 fps at 1440p. Finding a cheap 4770k or 4790k is probably your cheapest route to a bit more fps. Otherwise I'd probably suggest an R5 2600 for around $160; 16GB of DDR4 Pc3200 for ~$130 and a B450 mobo for around $125. That would bring your total to right around $415 before tax/shipping.
I got the Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16). Great deal IMO, but I wish ddr4 wasnt so expensive.
Would this be better? I’ve built a few machines but I’m not an overclocker. This kind of specific hardware is over my head.

I just found this RAM sale, would you say that the difference between that and the ram in the post is worth the $30 (+ tax) difference?

Ryzen and RAM speed is so confusing, and no one really seems to know what is going on. My question is what is the real difference between this B-Die 3200 C14 @$199 and this LPX 3200 C16 @$189. Is C16 vs C14 meaningful in any way? Will they both be able to hit 3200?
Just look at your QVL list and google the names of any that are 3200 and 8GB in size and it'll work that's all I did for my 2600 to get 3200 working. This is on your QVL list at 3200.

3000mhz version is 5$ less
Hi, I've bought a MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC and I want to buy 16Gb of Ram.
Apparently the motherboard does support the Corsair Vengeance LPX at 3000MHz but not the same model at 3200MHz as the compatibility table says here.
However in the same compatibility table, it's written that it does support other ram at 3200MHz.
Should I try to buy the higher clock rate ones or switch to another model, for example the HyperX Predator 3200MHz DDR4?
Probably about £120 inc postage. It’s currently £160 on Amazon: Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz C16 XMP 2.0 High Performance Desktop Memory Kit, Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_inlMBbGXBK2B5

this one.
its on the gaming 3's 3200 supported list so I figure it should be good right?
Yeah no RGB Memory. I had the RGB cooler, but I recently got my Noctua mounting brackets so even that's gone.
this is my RAM kit (but in white). It may technically not be supported, but before I updated my BIOs to 1107 it wouldn't POST at 3200Mhz, but after updating, it will POST. However, as I said, in my Os it claims 2166Mhz.
3200 using XMP1 with this ram. Also using a 1600x processor.

Your build is solid, you won’t notice your PSU. It’s good.
I would: keep everything but swap the case. Add extra 120mm fan (any, doesn’t matter).
You can squeeze a few dollars with this 2060 vendor, same GPU your list but cheaper. it is $492 after coupon. Free shipping.

Also go on amazon and get the $121 RAM that’s 3200. Ryzens really perform better with 3200 speed RAM, and you can absolutely OC those sticks especially with your quality mobo. I think you can expect 4% faster CPU bound performance with the 3200 RAM over 3000.
https://www.amazon.com.au/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC
Happy building and don’t wait too long. I’ve lost on sweet deals because I kept on trying to wait for a better deal.
I'm pretty much certain it's the issue. I'm not an expert with RAM behavior but I'm actually surprised the PC even boots at all with mismatched RAM of two different sizes. I know it sucks to waste money but honestly I would advise just buying a matching set of RAM with a higher speed. Even if it's not the issue at the very least when you do figure it out you'll have a much faster and better performing PC.
You have the same motherboard as me and a nicer CPU and you're struggling to play a game I can play 1080p completely maxed out settings and I don't even have my CPU overclocked. Most brands will do but one of the absolute bargains atm is: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC/?tag=pcpapi-20
Slightly cheaper but still highly reviewed and recommended Corsair Vengeance RAM
That’s about it, everything ya got looks like it’s a good price
I'm using £ So yeah sorry about that typo. And are you sure? I'm particularly looking at this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Ap-FDb8TXC7BW
And is it any good?
I have a Gigabyte Z270-HD3 mobo and a single 8GB HyperX Fury 2666 DDR 4 ram stick (HX426C15FB/8).
Always had the idea that I could buy another one just like that so I have 2x8GB (16GB). I now have the money to buy the second stick but I can't find the exact stick.
I been thinking of buying Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz C15 LED Desktop Memory - Black or Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) (most likely) so I can dual channel them. (suggestion for another one also accepted)
What would happen with the single 8GB I have, do I leave it on having 24GB or it would be better to ditch that one and stay with the new 16GB dual channel setup.
These sets are compatible with your motherboard

Or put it towards faster RAM to get more out of the R5 3600. I think 16Gb 3200Mhz CL16 should be the minimum. It's slightly cheaper and far better than what OP linked.
For further performance one could buy 3600Mhz CL16 and still have enough left over the custom cooler.
I would get a b350 board instead since he's only getting one card. Something like this would work: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GA-AB350-Gaming-Fusion-HDMI1-4-Motherboard/dp/B06VWHXK94/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1517883975&sr=1-4&keywords=b350&dpID=51Kzi1PGWAL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
He could use the money he saved to get faster ram (3200MHz), since Ryzen loves fast ram.

Uhhhhhh
[This website] (https://www.amd.com/system/files/2017-06/am4-motherboard-memory-support-list-en_0.pdf) has a good AM4 compatibility list and the RAM you listed's part number doesn't apply. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean it won't work or will be incompatible, if you've already purchased it, see if it'll function at 3200Mhz, otherwise you can always return and buy a better pair.
Although something I've noticed is, [My RAM] (https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC) is on that same list yet I couldn't go past 2666Mhz, but more than likely, it was down to my motherboard (Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-3) just simply not liking it, I will be getting an X470 board on Friday though (Fatal1ty X470 Gaming K4) so hopefully I will finally go to full speed.
I hope this helps, sorry it's a bit of a tangent. :)
Quick edit: If your memory is not listed in QVL, it just means it hasn't been tested for whatever reason. It most likely will just work, but it's not guaranteed to work.
You can get 16gb 3200mhz for very cheap. Here is a link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DSfnDb51YFMTT

What's the price range? We can do one for the current-gen x, the slim, or the original.
Edit: The build came out at around $351. Do keep in mind I found all of these parts on Amazon, so pricing may be lower or higher depending on the storefront, and/or the country you live in. I excluded the case because you can get any micro-ATX pc case for the hardware, so you can spend as high or as low as you please.
Here are the beautiful specs:

HDD/Hardrive: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D99KFPK?tag=wepcus-20
Also, if you take into account the hundreds of advantages a pc has over a console, this build is totally worth it.
This build is very upgrade friendly, so if you wanted to take this build even further, adding an RX 570 graphics card (this is an optional add-on/upgrade) to the build would bring a ps4 pro or a one x to its knees and ask to give oral. The price is about $160 on Amazon. Further on, consoles cannot truly render native 4K, but this graphics card can handle true 4k.

Is this too good to be true? Why is it so cheap for 16 gigs?
I would go with the ryzen 5 3600 ($200 usd) as it is going to have excellent single and multi thread performance, and you don’t need more than 6 cores as most games only use 4 core which also means you’re more future proof too. I’d also get an x570 mobo so you could upgrade to a pcie gen 4 nvme ssd later on. Here is a good fast ddr4 ram kit because ryzen loves fast ram.
I'm currently using and have been using for the past 6 months these.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_s.4iDbK0G5Q99
I bought this RAM for my new build.
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC
My CPU is a Ryzen 7 2700 and I have a MSI x470 Gaming Pro motherboard. I am going to build my system today and just found out about the issues people have with getting this RAM to OC speeds. I can return the RAM though Amazon and have a few weeks to do so. Would it be worth it to return it and get a dedicated kit for AMD that’s on my motherboards QVL? Or will overclocking show minimal gains in FPS and running at stock speed good enough? (main use will be gaming/streaming)
Also a first time builder just for background so the whole overclocking thing is still new territory.
I've got this in mine. No issues.
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-PC4-25600-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC
I don't think the H110 will fit in the R5, but I have an H100i V2 and it has no issues keeping my 6700k at 4.5ghz cool at reasonable fan speeds. I would stick with the water cooler, big air is a pain to install and you have to be careful moving your case b/c of the weight hanging off the mobo. You might as well spend another $15 on faster RAM, I have this kit: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-PC4-25600-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1466696333&sr=8-2&keywords=corsair+lpx.

Thanks for the advice! I don't personally care about the ram color, so I probably will get cheaper ram.
What would the 80+gold evga do better? I don't understand what the difference is, so I went with a popular model from other builds

this one i think, if i am reading that right i believe your motherboard is ddr4 just check that over first,
and then get that one cause its cheaper, and fast by a little bit
edit: just searched it up, their site says ddr4 so you should be good

This should all work but you might want to change the RAM to be 8GB.
Also, I don't know how popular PC Builds are in Portugal, but there are a lot in the US.
I have checked all the products and in the questions, people say they had no problem putting two and two together.
Alright, I read that 24gb was like, minimum for what I wanted to stream and thought I might as well get a bit extra, but I'll look into it some more, thanks!
Edit: So something like this for the RAM and then this for the CPU?
Motherboard appears to be a B350M BAZOOKA
This is an old post but I just built my system and here are some things I learned.
Here is a good ram video to help you decide on Ram
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CloyuBw_E_&list=LLhTFJaoiamFCXos9WLV5r_w&index=10&t=0s
I ended up getting this set DDR 4 3200
As for the motherboard I would get the Asus 570 Tuff Regular or Wifi version. The VRM is much better for overclocking and can run a 16 core no problem. Check out the video below. I think its around 21 MIN in he talks about the 570 Tuf.
Asus 570 Tuff Wifi
I think your original power supply is fine. That thing is old yes but I doubt you ever even made it work more than 50% over those 9 years.
Whatever ram you get make sure its on the QVL list. I learned that that hard way. more than once lol.

It's actually very cheap right now. I built a rig this week with 16gb DDR4 from Corsair
Less than 100 bucks on amazon right now, its generally pretty cheap!
Unfortunately I can't speak German but here is a good set of RAM.
You want at least 3200mhz and CL16.
Be sure that your motherboard can support 3200mhz RAM

I'm thinking of buying a Ryzen 3600 and am wondering what RAM to buy. I saw another post mentioning Hynix vs Samsung and got slightly worried. Someone else also mentioned I could overclock either 3000/3200 to 3733 (optimal frequency for Ryzen apparently) and so it wouldn't matter which one I would get.
I'm currently thinking of buying one of these sets:

My other specs will be:
GPU: GTX 1060 3GB
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
Mobo: B350 Tomohawk (Arctic)
Essentially I'm not sure what matters for buying RAM (especially for Ryzen) other than its frequency. Are these choices good or should I go for something entirely different?
Thanks for any help!

Do you think its good idea to buy or should i get some other brand?
edit. wrong link
Hi.
I'm looking to upgrade from current PC (i5-4690k, Asus Maximus mobo and 32gb ram) and was looking at getting a Ryzen R5 3600 with an Asus ROG Strix X470-F mobo. Is that a good CPU-Motherboard combination?
My local Microcenter sells the combination for $340. Additionally, I was looking to buy a good ram kit (16gb- 2x8) to go with the CPU, but wasn't sure what is the ideal speed to get for Ryzen 3000 CPU's. I was hoping to complete my build for under $400 but the ram I was considering the Corsair Vengeance LPX but puts the entire kit just outside my price range.
If there is anywhere i can compromise, i would greatly appreciate that recommendation or is it worth the extra $22 to get the LPX ram?
I watched a tech deals video last night where he compared 2133 to 3600 on a 3900x. The by far best purchase was the 3200 cl 16. He was using the Corsair LPX Vengeance. 3600 did not even outperform the 3200 on more than one occasion and on top of that when it did it was only by 5 (give or take fps). Here’s the tech deals video which I would urge you to watch before you make your purchase.
Hey buddy! I just looked over your build and I like most of it but I do have a few suggestions.
That's, all in all its a very solid build! If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me! I am an A+ Certified Professional who would be happy to help!

I like your suggestion but as it's an IGPU I'd switch the ram to a 2x8GB 3200mhz kit

I would also advise a memory upgrade, also double check your memory’s compatibility!
I'm just after returning some Corsair RAM that wasn't fit to match the speeds it was advertised as. You can check the motherboard's QVL list under the specification section usually (My RAM wasn't listed). That Ryzen is going to love fast ram.
I'm also in the middle of my build, at the moment I have settled for a 1050 ti which is running 1080 very nicely, I would say it is currently one of the best 1080 gaming cards out there, but running at 2k is fine but like other's have also said you will need to reduce settings greatly for smooth gameplay on larger games I find.
Also, you should consider an ultrawide screen can increase the stress on GPU.
I'm just holding out, hopefully the market will look good by September for a new line-up of GPU's!
Edit: getting some feedback 'it's not the best..bla bla'
To clarify it's an awesome GPU for the price also it's aimed for 1080 market
Pretty good mid-tier build. I completely love your CPU and cooler picks.
Your GPU is pretty weak. Swap that for a GTX 1060. (only a little more, worth a ton more)
8GB RAM will definitely do but here's what I put in my mid-tier.
Also definitely consider getting an SSD as soon as possible.
First one that pops up when you type Corsair 3200.
Sure it isn't RGB, but the trade off is RGB from another tier brand vs non RGB of one of the best tier ram
