Best possible Ryzan build?

[Bleek]

Hi guys, what's the best possible motherboard, RAM and SSD combo with a Ryzan 2700x?

I'm looking at a Samsung 970 EVO M.2 which I believe can be plugged directly in to the motherboard, and will offer the very best performance.

But, I'm not sure which mobo and ram combo?

I want pure performance and overclocking ability (if I so wish to push it).

Appreciate any thoughts and help.

Thanks for all the comments guys, how sensitive is Ryzen to ram bumps (MHz) beyond the 3200 standard?

I'm a little confused about the Optane, that's a normal SSD drive - I though the tiny M2 'sticks' that go on the mobo are the very fastest thing?

And without sounding crass, price isn't an issue, so the best of the best is all I want.

The reason I haven't looked at Threadripper is heat and noise, I want a silent machine and I think a TR might work against that.

Also judging by the Anand review, the Optane is the way forward - quite a dramatic difference in that technology!

What the hell happened here...

To be honest I just want the best and of course there isn't an endless budget, that literally does not exist for anyone, or anything.

I purposely didn't mention money for fear of looking crass - but - there isn't a budget, just forget the cost.

There are comments above now saying that Threadripper is the best way to go, so I'm confused because my cursory look showed me it wasn't (for a world not optimised for it)?

Also, for context someone checked my old posts - creepy bast - and noted I played PUBG and Kingdom Come, I did when they came out for a bit, but I don't now. I actually mainly play grand strategy games and they don't require a high-end system.

I already have a Ryzen 1800X, but this pc isn't just for gaming. There's a reason I'm getting rid of that and I won't go in to it here, because it's not important.

I 'just' want the best AMD system I can get and yes that includes storage and no honestly, I don't care if the best SSD costs more than the cpu.

I don't do any streaming or that lark so I opted for a Ryzen 2700x on the Asus X470 ROG Crosshair VII Hero.

I went for the Intel Optane 900 RAID0 and honestly, for Win10 OS and apps.

Bios to Win 10 load screen is a few seconds. Everything is like butter. Very pleased.

Treated myself to an LG 34" 1440p to replace my triple screen (they were ugly, ate desk space, hot etc) and I'm thrilled.

Also, I got myself a 512GB Samsung 970 Pro (and passive cooler) because I wanted to fill that little M.2 slot on the board.

Thanks for all the recommendations, especially the ram and ssd - I was a bit lost on those.

This is what you get for typing on a phone. Where I typed "I went for the Intel Optane 900 RAID0 and honestly, for Win10 OS and apps." - which clearly doesn't make sense -what I meant to say was, I was looking at RAID0 but honestly for what I do it seemed a pain.

I went for a PCI version of the Optane 900P 480GB because from what I read, that was the quickest and better than wiring via the M.2 slot. I filled that slot with the tiny Samsung 970pro, which to be fair is ultra rapid itself and quite kitsch.
