Will 16 GB of DDR4 2400Mhz RAM bottleneck a Ryzen 7 2700x?

[JJH0421]

Looking into getting a new computer and thought these specs looked good for the price ($1350):

Gaming PC (AMD Ryzen 7 2700 X 3.7GHz CPU,16GB DDR4, NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti 8GB, 240GB SSD, 2TB HDD, 802.11AC WIFI & Win10 64-Bit) Blk

However, according to another person who uses the 1700 model he claims that 2400Mhz will bottleneck the CPU. How true is this claim? From what I've gathered, the speed shouldn't be an issue in general. His circumstances also make it questionable, he renders videos using solely his CPU because his GPU isn't capable of doing so. I feel that this could be why his CPU was getting bottlenecked if it was (he had to leave before I could formally ask). I'm unfamiliar with desktops as a whole so any information would be useful.

In case, my uses are necessary, I intend to mostly buy it for playing video games (some being graphically intense), and other miscellaneous things like typing documents, coding (will begin studying IT, don't know how much load this entails, and other means of entertainment like Netflix).

You make a pretty compelling argument... The thought of using this community to help with any build never really crossed my mind (used this place once to troubleshoot something years ago). I'll consider this greatly, as for the whole Black Friday thing, I think the next few months in particular will likely see some changes with CPU/GPU prices, especially now that I read this article that was posted today (https://www.tomshardware.com/news/why-gpu-pricing-will-drop-further,37444.html). There seems to be a lot I need to consider I just don't know what to make of it all.

Its tough because if you wait, stuff will always be cheaper, but new stuff will be coming out, its a viscous cycle. Many times you just need to say "today is the day" and buy it. But anyway I'm glad you are thinking about it. Its a FAR better way to go financially and performance.

Not the original answer I was looking for but I appreciate all the help. I'll have to try and monitor prices for now I suppose (is something like that available on this website?) and maybe when the time comes and I'm ready to dive I'll ask for help with a build here

That PCPartpicker site I made the build on that I linked allows you to monitor prices. Click on that build, you can create an account and save the build and monitor it. You can also modify it however you want.

I know next to nothing about brands and what's good or not, only worried about the PSU because I'd like to eventually run a dual monitor setup among other things (and don't know how much power that'd suck up). As for the case, I heard bigger is better is that true? Heard varying reasons like air flow, or space for upgrading in the future (speaking of upgrading mobos are in a different universe of understanding for me, so I'm just gonna assume the one provided will be good for a while). Will I need to check it regularly or will I be notified/emailed on price changes? PCpartpicker uses components chosen from specific models (some seem to have very small changes to the name that seem insignificant) as well as retailers is it not? So if a gpu on amazon gets cheaper than the same one I have selected from NewEgg would I still be notified?

The 1070ti can run 2 monitors no problem. The monitor does not draw any power. If you were to add a second GPU for some reason that would need more power, but these days you are FAR better off getting a better GPU than running 2.

Bigger cases are not necessarily better, there are many great cases that are smaller. Its all on personal preferences. Tiny cases of course are tough, but don't get a huge case for no reason. Expandability? What are you adding 20 hard drives? You should buy a case based on what you need, think you need, and of course what has good airflow and looks cool to you.

As I said the motherboard if you decide to upgrade CPUs one day, AMD has promised support through 2020 of the socket on it, Intel does not promise such things.

PCpartpicker when you click the link uses its whole vendor list not just Amazon. You have to set up email alerts, or just check it daily. I've never done the email alerts on there before.
