Parts check

These are the remaining parts I am looking to get for my build. Does this look okay?

Good to know if there's alternative option to either save money or upgrade something.

My basket at OcUK:

1 x Samsung 990 Pro 4TB M.2 2280 PCI-e 4.0 x4 NVMe 1.3c Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-SAM-00984) = £284.99
1 x Crucial Pro OC 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C40 6000MHz UDIMM Dual Channel Kit - White (SKU: MEM-CRU-04378) = £289.99
1 x AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core 5.20GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-AMD-03517) = £399.95

Total: £982.92 (includes delivery: £7.99)

You'll want CAS30 with AMD

The X3D mitigates the impact of slow RAM, so personally I'd just buy whatever you can get a good deal on.

Ideally, it should be at least £100 cheaper than the quoted price (for 64GB) and OCUK's price for this kit is, I'm afraid, not competitive (I'd want 96GB for that, which is doable).

Yes.

That SSD is cheaper but it has a slightly slower read speed.

It really won't matter
