Hi everyone. I'm currently upgrading my gaming PC and am planning to have a Ryzen 5 2600 (and "overclock" it no further than 3.9 Ghz using the available boost option), Asus ROG B450 strix, Gtx 780 (which I currently already have), and a 600w EVGA PSU (which I already have as well). Storage is not decided yet.
I wanted to have an RGB theme with this build and found this RAM last night (https://bit.ly/2DlM5hF) and it was on sale on Newegg for like $30 off so I made a quick purchase, probably a dumb thing...
Anyway I checked on PCPartPicker and everything is compatible, but I just noticed on Newegg it says the chipset is X370/X399. Does this really matter, or they just haven't updated it since the 400 series chipsets came out and it will still work with my motherboard?
I checked some builds people posted on PCPP using this same ram and B450's, so I assume it works but I just want to double check before it's too late to return.
And yes I know it's not 3000mhz, I don't really need that. My current build has an AMD Fx-6300, Asus m5a78l-m lx plus, and 8gb 1600mhz. I'm hoping this new build will be a nice upgrade.
