I am looking at building a new gaming pc. I already have an EVGA 3050 video card 8gb ddr6.
I am looking at buying a:
-Cooler Master N400 case (NSE-400-KKN2)
-Corsair RM850e (2023) 850 watts PSU
-2 Crucial Pro DDR5 RAM 32GB 600MHz CL36 (CP2K16G60C36U5B Black) for a total of 64 GB RAM
-4 Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax black swap Premium Quite fans 4 pin 120mm
-Noctua NH-D15 chromax back Dual Tower CPU Cooler 140mm
-AMD Ryzen 9 9900x 12 core 24 thread unlocked CPU
-1 Samsung 990 Pro SSD 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280
-GIGABYTE X870 Gaming X WIFI7 AMD AM5 LGA 1718 Motherboard, ATX, DDR5, 4 M.2 Slots, PCIE 5.0, USB4, 2.5GbE Lan, and Ez-latch
-Alternative motherboard is GIGABYTE X870 Gaming X WIFI6 version with the rest of the features shared with the WIFI7 version

Is this a good setup to purchase? Do you recommend any potentially needed extra cables to also buy?

Is that a kit of ram or mix and match?
 
I'd try to get 1 pack....containing 2 sticks of 32 each. But not sure 64 total is an advantage in gaming.

Many would point you toward an X3D CPU if you are serious about gaming.
Get one pack. Mix and match isn’t guaranteed to work. Also for gaming you don’t need 64GB of RAM. 32 is more than enough also the CPU is massively overkill for the GPU.
The ram selected is not mix and match, it is the same kind part number wise and from Crucial. I know that mix and matching ram is asking for trouble so I selected one ram type and supplier/maker only.
As for the CPU selected I selected one that will not cost too much but still is powerful. Also the AMD CPU selected already costs a lot since it has a integrated GPU, as a failsafe, in case of trouble with the Nvidia 3050 GPU I already have, somehow occurring in the future.
Aside from being questioned about the ram and the amount, and the CPU selected, did I select what looks like a stable system if the parts are brought and assembled?
