Question Ryzen new build suggestions

[swzeng]

Guys

I am deciding to upgrade my i7 4930K to the new Ryzen 3700x or 3800x, and will dedicate my old 4930k for work/home server. So this new Ryzen builds really for gaming only and fully intend to oc. Yes I understand, we should wait for the reviews after 7/7, but I am trying to get these in case price increase after next week. I ordering these from Amazon and will not open any box until I know that I am going to use it, so I can definitely return them or exchange. Below are my parts that I am buying and parts that I already own from my existing system

AMD - Ryzen 7 3700X or 3800x - pending
Noctua - NH-D15 SE-AM4 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler (new)
Asus - ROG Crosshair VII Hero ATX AM4 Motherboard (new)
RTX 2080 - (already own this)
Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory C16 (new)
Crucial - MX500 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive - For OS (new)
Crucial - MX500 1000 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive - For gaming and app (already own this)
WD 3TB Storage - download/file storage(already own this)
CORSAIR HX Series, HX850 - (already own this)
Corsair - 200R ATX Mid Tower Case (new)

Budget for new: 1000
NEW - Current estimate around $870 from pcpartpicker

I have a budget around 1000 for all the new stuff that I am getting. One thing I am not really clear about is the ram if I should go with the 3200 CL 14 or CL16. I see some forum mentioning AMD is more sensitive toward ram, given that I definitely will be doing OC, should I be looking to get something else? I am currently looking at the Corsair - Vengeance LPX 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory which is price around 79 from Amazon, any reasons that this is not a good fit? Thanks!

TridentZ RAM is pretty loved by AMD

My strongest concern is the memory kit you have in mind.
64GB for a 'gaming only' rig??? Games have yet to use more than 16GB, unless there's something I'm not aware of...
Plus it's a 4 stick kit? Your motherboard won't care for that too much. It'll be forced to run at the default 2133mhz. It just won't be stable at 3200.

There is no way that you can get 64GB DDR4 3200 for $79. That being said for most gaming 16GB is enough and 32GB is plenty for 99.9% of home users. Also Ryzen has lower official RAM speed support for 4 DIMMs than 2 DIMMs.

Is it 1x 16 or 2x8? If it is 1x16 GB, then I'd recommend to get a 2x8/2x16 instead (same speed though). Dual channel is near to a must for Ryzen, and in general.
