Build Advice Please check my gaming build before I buy the parts.

With all due respect, you have no idea what you are talking about. Please read this for BASIC RAM information.

You have to be specific, information there is irrelevant to me. I do not work for the RAM producers therefore I don't need to know more than "Conclusion: Get Faster, Get Quicker, Get More" as it sais in there, within reasonable limits of having a use for. That information is also wrong, RAM latency is too small to be noticed by humans so it doesn't matter at all in gaming, therefore worthless to mention. It's a marketing gimmick to mention it in fact. We can measure latency but we can't feel it.

Furthermore I think architecture these days is garbage. 20 years ago when it was in infancy it was fine, now it's ridiculously obsolete compared to the possibilities of technology. We have corrupt capitalist thinking to thank

This means another reason I'm not concerned with manufacturer details but embrace the position of a savvy buyer given I have no alternative (I won't build a computer out of soda cans), that is I don't buy into the hype, trend, mainstream, or any bias. Emptor caveat. I'm also not paranoid. I'll trust any brand once, and if it scams me, never again

Good luck with your build, I hope everything goes well.

Yes, time to lay out the cards. I've been playing Lifeafter, it's the most terrible bloated game I've ever played probably, and playing it on emulator makes it worse, and it almost convinced me I need a new PC. Today Undawn started, which looks way better and has no lag on my 10 year old PC, on High settings in HD, proving if you find a bad software, the solution is not upgrading your hardware to handle it, but bail In fact I bailed on Undawn also because it's also a pay to win game which is stupid to play in the 1st place

I'm giving myself a time out considering why I need a new computer for. Probably will buy it this summer for other titles which have been running slow as X4, No man's sky, Distant Worlds etc., but after I find a case with fans and no leds, or an off switch at least. Leds go with computer cases as much as they go with sneakers, the most deplorable marketing strategy

The part list stays as it is, except the case which partpicker can't provide

Cooler comes with a very small, but hopefully enough thermal paste Hope it's idiot proof, the manual seems straighforward but it has so many pieces it's a bit of a puzzle game. 10 years ago I bought a h100i (which still works) and don't recall having so many pieces

Modified original list to the final version, which I can no longer edit in the original post:

P.S.
Funny, I own an 1200W Akasa PSU, which is used at 1/3 of its capacity most probably.

A few things: that RAM is super slow, there's better power supplies for cheaper, a 240 AIO doesn't make much sense when they are outperformed by most if not all dual tower cpu coolers and that case is an overpriced doorstop.

And you base that on... nothing 🤣

The cooler is not the best but comparing with price it is probably the best budget choice. The difference from the best doesn't make up the difference in price, 74 vs 253, and 7 degrees Celsius in between. I haven't even looked at benchmarks before buying, I knew it would be something like this

Cooler Master MASTERLIQUID ML240L RGB CPU Cooler Review

The Cooler Master Masterliquid 240L RGB is solid and very well thought out, find out what else it has to offer.

www.tweaktown.com

The case meets all my very demanding conditions, and regardless if it's a last criteria, it has the most good reviews I've seen in my base of choices. I only paid 20-30 more to make sure the leds stay off. I could swear they put on leds for people to buy more expensive cases to be able to turn them off 🤣

When comes xmas, I won't need a xmas tree either...

Ram is super slow... compared to what? 🤣 The Ram is at maximum speed, given it's the maximum the CPU supports. In OC they should scale up together as well...

P.S.
But when you really want performance cooling, you could install a 125,000$ top of the line cooler
