Ahh crap, I forgot that this wasn't like the H500P Mesh. That one at least lets you install both 200mm at the top.
The H500(blank) only allows for a single 200mm up there.
8 x 4GB instead of 2 x 16GB if possible.

Can you please explain why only 16GB. I need at least 32GB for streaming and video editing?

Guess I'm confused about what 8 x 4GB instead of 2 x 16GB means, lol. Sorry, this is all new to me. Correct me if I'm wrong, you're suggesting using a total of 4 sticks of RAM that are 8GB each?

This RAM in the link below is within my price range at 32GB and it is on my motherboards memory QVL. It's also Ryzen ready so no worries about my Ryzen 9 3900X.

CORSAIR Vengeance LPX (AMD Ryzen Ready) 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model CMK16GX4M2Z3600C18

I'm not up to speed on all these specifications. Last time I built a machine was the earlt 2000's so this is all new to me. Just going off of the QVL and what's available at Newegg. Would any of these kits be a great option for my build?

I would prefer the RAM from Crucial but if it's not available, Corsair is the best option.
