Hey guys,
So I was waiting for a 3070 restock to start building my rig and I finally managed to get a MSI 3070 Gaming X Trio, thing is, since it's my first time building a pc I'm kinda overwhelmed with so much information on parts and stuff and I would appreciate some tips. I would really enjoy sticking to MSI so I could use a single software to configure things and RGB related stuff. Here are the expected parts:
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio;
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900x (If available, a 3900xt which seems to be better and the cost is almost the same here);
CPU Cooler: MSI MAG CoreLiquid 360R AIO;
Motherboard: Having an hard time with this one since it's the only part I can't really understand what makes one better than the other, but I had an eye on either MPG B550 Gaming Edge Wifi or MPG X570 Gaming Edge Wifi. I also saw the MPG X570 Gaming Pro Carbon Wifi if those 2 aren't really that good (highly accept recommendations);
RAM: Similar mobo situation except I know about the latency and MHz, but since the different mobos have different MHz supports I'm unsure on what to do. And i don't really understand the RAM XMP. I would go for a 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz CL16 either Corsair or G.SKILL;
HDD: SeaGate Barracuda 4TB;
SSD M.2: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB;
Power Supply: Corsair RM850 (it's the same cost as RM750 or RM650 and they're out of stock either way);
Case: MSI Gungnir 100RGB.
Overall I think everything is compatible, but I really need help on the mobo/ram stuff. I would like opinions on any other thing that could be done better.
Thank you very much!
