I plan to build a new gaming PC either at the end of this year or early next year using an AMD Ryzen 5900X CPU and either an AMD RX 6800 XT or 6900 XT or Nvidia RTX 3070 or 3080 graphics card. My intention is to use this PC for both gaming at 1440p or possibly 4K (if I find a good deal on a 4K gaming capable monitor) and some 1080p and 4K video editing (not Hollywood level video editing). Now I am not super knowledgeable in all aspects of RAM properties and specs so I hope I can get some good recommendations. My understanding is that for CAS Latency or whatever you call that property that has the #-#-#-#, the lower the number, the faster the process speed. The CPU memory speed for the Ryzen 5900X is listed as 3200 MHz and my understanding is that I should go with RAM sticks that have a higher memory speed than the CPU. Lastly, my understanding is that the more the RAM, the faster processes are carried out (64 GB vs 32 GB). My question is what are your recommendations on memory specifications like the ones I mentioned and any other important specifications and how much memory do you recommend that I go for? I am trying to stick around the point where the price-to-performance balance maxes out and avoid going either cheap or overkill. I also do not plan to overclock.
Thanks.
Thanks.
