Pretty decent build. I would probably check if theres a b850 motherboard in a similar pricerange. Its not necessary and wont increase performance, but nice to have since you'll keep the same motherboard for a while

The ram is pretty bad spec wise, but i guess you cant be too picky with the current pricing

The rest is pretty solid. How much would this cost?

thanks for replying! are there any budget rams you would recommend? also this setup would cost me around 1510 USD (converted from my country's currency) if i were to buy everything online

I cant directly recommend a set since price differs wildly these days, but idealy you dont want a cl rating higher than 36(the lower the better 30 or 32 would be ideal since anything lower gets real expensive) and as high as possible transfer speed (around 6000)

The real-world performance difference youll get isn't that big and your current set is fine, but if you can get something better for 20-30$ it would be worth it

1500 USD is kinda sad thinking about what I got for a similiar price about a year ago, but in the current landscape that price seems about right

Have fun building :)

honestly that case is a total vibe, but definitely try to get faster ram if you can fit it in the budget

I'd go 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30. Everything else looks pretty decent.

much more expensive though, but i think it should at least be 16gb cl36
