The memory frequency on Ryzen is tied to the frequency that the 'infinity fabric' runs at. So you are also setting the speed that the CPU dies can communicate at. 2933 is pretty commonly reached. Just saying you might not be able to set the memory speed that high as the CPU can't always handle it.

Caviar Black 2TB and up really. Maybe a cheap SSD for actually recording to avoid any potential problems. If big enough you could also use it as an editing drive and use the spinning disk for bulk storage.

No reason you can't buy the configuration you posted. Just keep expansion in mind.

No real complaints here. It will do pretty much what you want.

Vague on a few details like the CPU cooler. I think many Ryzen CPUs have difficulty reaching 3200 Mhz memory, but worth a shot.

You should plan for more and better storage drives though. Recording takes a lot of space and you want performance there so there are as few problems as possible.
