Thanks for helping me build my last three computers! I'm back with some questions before I commit to buying. Thank you in advance :)

Please can you help me answer some questions.

Questions:

1. Will the stock cooler be fine with the Ryzen 3 3600x?

2. I've got it in my head that Ram will be best if it's 3600mhz. Am I best going for a MOBO that can take ram up to 3600. Or am I best off going for a cheaper 3200 mobo and something like this with CAS 14 timings and 3200?

3. Will this MOBO be fine with the new Ryzen 3 and the Bios won't need to be upgraded?

4. Which GPU would be best?

I take it that there is little difference and no point paying for the most expensive 5700xt?

5. Will this power supply be OK for a 3600x, 5700xt, SSD, HD standard build?

6. Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe PCIe Would be a perfectly fine choice of storage?

THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP!!! Is there anything else i need to look out for?
 
Thank you both so much for your help so far!

Danny75, you said the Tomahawk board can run 3600 but the notes say "DDR4-RAM up to 3.466 MHz via OC".

That's not 3600? (Daft question?!) Also, it says I need to OC it? Is it not hard to OC RAM? Guides look confusing.

I was attracted by the lower CAS 14 timings on the other ram. Is that not better?

I'm looking at this case so I trust it'll all fit?

I'll use the one M.2 slot for the Sabrent Rocket. I think i'll only need 1TB :) That'll be okay I guess?

I guess one main question would be wether it's worth paying more to get a proper mobo that does 3600 and Ram that does 3600?
 
Hi Guys, THANK YOU again. I definitely think I will be adding a cooler after your advice.

Is it easy to XMP? Do you just click on a profile option in the boot bios? I want things to be a simple as possible. I don't want to fine tune anything as I'll **** it up.
