I've done a fair amount of research recently for a non-aficionado but I could really use some assistance.

Is this about as good as I can do on a 3960x build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mJyn6R

Open to all thoughts and suggestions.

Must be quiet or silent unless overclocking.

Will need thunderbolt 2 adaption so a titan ridge add on card will work with the board right?... or is there a better solution. can the onboard usb-c be converted?

Looking for cost effective 64gb ram suggestions CL18< ... 3200<

Looking for cooling and power supply suggestions.

Looking to trim the fat, but stay upgradeable.

Must stay under $5k
 
I was told buying multiple kits of the same ram is unstable because they weren't binned together. Is that just malarky? And if it's malarky the vengeance or patriot steel seems like it would be good enough and better priced
