Hello. I just buy 2600x ryzen and I need a bit help chosing the ram and motherboard. Will 2400MHz ram be sufficient for ryzen? (no overclock).

One last question. Will this PSU be enough for my new build and ASUS RTX 2070 8GB GDDR6 ROG STRIX?

PSU should be perfectly fine.

I'd go for 3000+mhz RAM and 4xx series mobo.

* If You want to overclock CPU, go for X470 series. Also, i believe that X470 chipset will be better for future upgrades to next generation(s) of Ryzen.

Budget-friendly example: AsRock X470 gaming K4
High end: AsRock X470 Taichi

* If You are good on stock clocks, go for B450 chipset, You can try this:

MSI B450 Gaming PRO Carbon
AsRock B450 Fatal1ty gaming K4

Hi, thanks for answering, im not sure but I dont think im going to overclock the CPU. And the motherboards you told me are very expensive in my country (Argentina). Is there another cheaper alternative?

If by "no overclock" you mean memory OC than it's OC for anything above 2133MHz, be that automatically (XMP/DOCP) or manually.
2400MHz should be enough but faster RAM will produce better results although marginally and under some circumstances.
Then I guess I don't have options. You' d know if the 3000mhz and 2666MHZ ram that I post will be work fine with that motherboard?

Every motherboard on B450 chipset will work with ryzen 2600x. However, there are some differences in temperatures and quality of VRM sections, so it would be good to pick the best one possible. If You could list motherboards on B450 that You can afford, someone could reccomend the best out of them.

Maybe AsRock B450 Pro4 ?

- Corsair Cx650m 650w Semi Modular 80 Plus Bronze

- EVA Gq Gold 650w 80 Plus Modular 54amp

- Evga Bronze 700w 80 Plus 56amp
