Just after some opinions on this build.
PC used only for gaming, not planning to do any manual overclocking at this stage.
Apologies if some questions have been asked before, still in the process of researching.
Budget around $1300-$1400 USD.

This RAM has timings: 16-18-18-36. Wondering whether it's worth it to get 3200MHz CL 14 RAM for this build, for 1440p gaming?
Located in Australia and the price difference between 3200MHz CL 16 and CL 14 RAM is at least $100 AUD, around $68 USD.
Also have seen some people saying the Vengeance LPX RAM is somewhat old and having issues with this CPU?
?
Is it worth it at all to purchase PCle 4 model with this CPU?
Thanks a lot for your time.
