As for extra fans, it depends on which case, each ship with different amounts.
As for case they are kinda universal. Just make sure to look if they support ATX or M-ATX depending on the motherboard you pick.
8GB could be sufficent, but whenever I game something like heavily modded minecraft or rust i use about 12GB RAM.
4x4gb vs 2x8gb. Well Ryzen and regular i3, i5 and i7 only supports dual channel. So performance wise there will be no difference. BUT it's always smarter to go for 2 ram sticks for dual channel setup. Because you can upgrade easier later.
Well 1600 and 1600x is actually the same chip. It's just overclock from them. You can achieve this exact same performance by mildy overclocking.
- Like i went with an 1700 instead off 1700x (even tho budget allowed it) but then i just overclocked it to perform the same as an 1800x.
- The things like cases are universal and 2 RAM sticks are best etc. is for the most common hardware builds.
People who do custom watercooling, really small form factor builds (ITX) or extreme builds like with Skylake-X CPU's are exluded from these statements.
What do u think about this setup:
cpu: AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 3.2GHz, 16MB
gpu: msi geforce gtx 1060 6gb gaming x
mobo: Asus ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING
ram: G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4, 2x8GB, 3000MHz, CL15
psu: Chieftec Force Series 650 W
case: Genesis Titan 550 Plus
ssd: SSD ADATA SU800 256GB SATA3
HDD: toshiba P300
