Your basket is pretty solid there mate I’d also go with just two sticks of 8gb ram, look at the 8pack range or Vulcan both by team group

Team group and G.skill is highly rated - specially for the RGB looks

Not sure if @8 Pack has tested his ram in the z370 Tuf ? I know he's done a few Asus and Gigabyte boards along with Asrock

Ahh i see what you meant! Heres how my build is currently looking i removed the old ram and put in some team group ram.. here it is!

If you don't mind having standard SSD but 500GB. Not sure if singular components could be made for cheaper then this combo .
Least you can have 3 or 4 games on it, considering now games average 40GB

Yeah that combo looks good! pretty good bang for your buck and yeah game sizes are getting huge these days! removing the HDD and M2 drive from my basket and adding that combo bumps the total price up to £1,700.84

Have a look if you can score 500GB standard SSD either m.2 or 2.5" format with 1TB drive cheaper. Didn't have the time to look
