It is OK, RAM too slow - should be 3200 for best speed
Otherwise looks good.

Hello! Thank you for your answer.

I see. Then I should opt for a DDR4 HyperX Fury, Black, 2 x 8 Go, 3200 MHz, CAS 18 ? Is it compatible with the MSI B450 Tomahawk?

 

[ElectrO_90]

I don't know if its compatible but that is the speed you need. You will have to check the MSI list on their website.
I am sure it will be though, since it is a popular brand.

 

[grimoireweiss]

Okay then. This is going to be tough finding the perfect RAM with a good price but I will try!

Thanks for your help!

Upgrade to 3200MHz Ram since Ryzen processors gets huge speed boost from increased RAM speeds. It will cost around 15 USD more.

And upgrade to MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon for 20 USD more or get a mid-range X470 motherboard for ~80 USD more.

And don't buy GTX 1070 Ti. Buy the RTX 2070. It is more efficient and powerful with better ray tracing. Or just blow some cash and get the RTX 2080 Ti. It is a very bad time to buy GTX cards.

3200 MHz Ram is compatible with B450 Tomahawk if you overclock the motherboard. It is pretty easy to overclock a motherboard. Go and search on YouTube. You will find a ton of videos. My friend has 3200MHz RAM on MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon

You overclock the ram,not the motherboard,but you do it in the bios if that is what you mean.

Just get 2933<->3200mhz ram,try to get as low cas latency as possible with that.My own 3200mhz ram ran at 2666mhz for a while since bios updates where necessary and didn't do too bad,but had 14-14-14-30 timings with it.Still don't run 3200mhz,but 3066 with just lowered timings,works great.
So if you get 2666mhz ram make sure it has low timings and if possible start voltage of 1.2V which tthen might give possibility for overclocking it.

See no problem with gtx cards (or AMD RX) at the moment.

Hey Vic 40. Sorry, that was a typo. I meant RAM.

I figured you meant something like that,but for other readers had to make clear. 😉
