Hi All,

Currently putting together a new build, specs below. Thoughts?

In relation to RAM will 3000Mhz be ok or should i be opting for faster?

Intel i9 7960x 14 Core
64GB Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 3000Mhz
ASUS Intel Core-X PRIME X299 Deluxe
500GB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 NVMe
Corsair H150i Pro Cooler
EVGA Geforce RTX2080TI

Will be used for 4K gaming and Video editing.

THanks,

What are you going to be doing more of? gaming or video editing? or is it a 50/50 split?

probably 70% Video, 30% Gaming

Would i be better with 32GB RAM @ 3866 as opposed to 64GB @ 3000Mhz?

32GB @3866 is enough for what you need it for you can always add another 32GB if needed later
as to the case this one would hold everything you need and plenty of room for future upgrades
