[SOLVED] Mobo processor and ram options i should get?

[AjBro]

Hey guys, I'm looking for a new mobo, new processor, and new ram. I have found this combo deal. It comes with all 3 for about $720 NZD.

My original plan was to get this mobo:

This ram:

And this cpu:

That would equal to $689 NZD not including shipping.

What should I do?

Motherboard & cpu is good. Get faster ram though for better Ryzen performance, 3200 CL14.

The combo with Gigabyte motherboard, Bios might not be updated to run 3rd gen. Msi Max series do out of the box.

Ok so better ram, would it affect a lot or just a few percent. Any money saved here would be great but if its best to go higher I can...

 

[boju]

Between 5~8% better depending on game/application.

But, Ryzen's infinity fabric, between chiplets, performance is best for Ryzen over 3000MHz. This means better IPC in games and higher minimum fps and smoother game play. That's if you're intending to play games, multitasking or rendering.

could you reccomend the correct ram?

What about that

They'll be fine. Think you'd rather shop locally but if you don't mind Amazon, these are excellent ram also. Not sure on final price after tax though.


https://www.amazon.com/G-SKILL-Flar...1577680150&s=books&sprefix=gskill+3200&sr=8-2

These are out of stock from your local store.

Ok, I think I'll go for the hyperx ram as the amazon.com ram is more expensive, and I think since if i buy outside of my country I lose warranty or something. The government is really pushing for people to buy within the country.

Fair enough, Hyperx is fine.
