[SOLVED] My new setup. Any advice?

[kluader]

I already own a Deepcool Captain 240EX and thinking of buying a AM4 bracket for it. Also, do you think 2x16GB is ok or should I buy 4*8?
Is my zen 3 ok or should I consider an Intel option?

Thank you! Nice, this motherboard is much better! Also definitely I will buy a platinum seasonic, its only 20 more bucks.

Regarding the memory, corsair costs 30 more bucks in my country. Do you think the price difference is worth it? Also, same goes for the samsung nvme vs the crucial I chose.

Your parts list is in USD, so the recommendations were based on US prices. Which country are you from and what is your budget in local currency???

Im from Greece, the asked price is around 130 for the trident, otherwise 160 for the corsair.
I will definitely buy the samsung nvme though, I see it is a lot better, and it is Samsung.

Ok, the Trident is fine then. The Corsair was recommended because of the cheaper price. There is hardly any difference between the two, if anything then the Trident usually fares better in synthetic benches.

As for the SSD, here is a rough guide in case you need...
