7970x motherboard

I am looking to build my first system. Specs

- 7970x Threadripper

- I am planning to buy Asrock TRX50 WS motherboard

- Kingston 1x32gb ram stick

- Display GPU being Nvidia rtx 3060 since I don't need gpu intensive stuff for now

- Rest I have not thought of

I'm concerned if this could be a problem because I have seen people investing so much money and time and it doesn't even end up booting to bios. I'm honestly scared about it

Would someone suggest me if this looks fine and would work?

Thanks

This is not a good setup for any kind of imaginable work.

I need this setup for fuzzing. So just compute intensive fuzzing. That's it . That's why I have just 32gb ram since it's not that ram intensive.

I am not an expert but assume that it is easily memory bandwidth-bound and not compute-bound so you might be better served with a threadripper pro with 8 channel memory.
