I'd be most grateful for some expert advice. I am making a gaming build, and I want to go all out, as it's likely the last computer I will build. Here is what I have in mind for the core components (with which I plan to run an RTX 3090 once prices drop):
Gigabyte Z590 AORUS ULTRA motherboard (LGA 1200)
Intel Core i9-11900K Rocket Lake 8-Core 3.5 GHz
G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800)
Model F4-3600C18D-64GTZR
or
G.SKILL Trident Z Neo Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800)
Model F4-3600C16D-64GTZN
or
CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600)
Model CMW64GX4M2E3200C16
Am I making any bad choices here? (I know I don't need the i9 just for gaming, but I want it for other process-intensive video work I also do; also, I used to build with Asus motherboards, but I understand that they now push software on you, and I just don't want to deal with that). Is there one compenent here that would be a "weak link" in the chain, for which I should consider something else? Any recommendation as to which memory would be the best choice? The qaualified vendor list for the motherboard (whcih I got straight from Gigabyte's support site) doesn't list a single memory combination higher than 32GB, even though the specs on the board indicate it can accommodate up to 128GB. Would I be safe with one of the G.Skill combos above?
I would really appreciate any advice someone knowledgeable could give me. Thank you very much!
