Using it for gaming and coding

Using it for gaming and coding

any should be fine, if 3600 priced a little more than 3200, go for 3600.

Here is the G.Skill RAM Configurator for the motherboard model:

Any one of these will work great

Should i choose the msi 6600xt mech 2x 8g oc or msi 6650xt gaming x?

Living in asia btw so this is to put out my parts properly. I know where to buy my parts

Ah i see, is it ok if i show u my pc parts on pcpartpicker?

Yeah, sure, it always is
I'm sure more people can recommend alternatives, too.

550w psu will suffice.

On average the 6650XT is about 5 FPS (6%) faster than the 6600XT. The only reason to go with the 6650XT would be if it is the same price or cheaper than the 6600XT. If the 6650XT costs more than 5% extra than the 6600XT then it isn't worth the added cost.

One other thing to note is that you are showing CL16 RAM. You would be better off saving the money and going with CL18 3600MHz RAM as there will be no difference in performance.

Some thoughts on your parts list:

The ram support page for the motherboard notes that XMP ram speed may be limited when using a non K suffix processor:

The 12100F will come with an adequate stock cooker.
I would pay a bit more for the non F version.
It helps to keep you running if you should have graphics card issues

As to cards, They look the same to me.

TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert overclocking 10L DDR4 32GB Kit (2 x 16GB) 3600MHz is a ram i found that is 10 bucks cheaper. Will it be good as it's cl18?

 

[geofelt]

Yes and no.
Cas 16 vs. cas18 at the same 3600 speed will be faster.
But I doubt you could tell the difference.

Take the time to find the ram on the qvl support list.
I would want to know what the possible limitation of XMP speed may mean

The difference between CL16 & CL18 will be have CL16 being at best 1% faster. That is why spending extra money on CL16 isn't worthwhile in the long run. Best idea is what geofelt said and find something on the QVL. Those RAM modules have been tested and are known to work with the motherboard.
