Don't spend so much on RAM. Gaming requires a fast cpu and gpu. RAM is RAM for gaming.

Expensive computer but it should last awhile.

Well, maybe I'm not using it properly, but like I said, it won't read Corsair RAM (at least my DDR3 RAM), IC chip manufacturer?

If I'm not using this correctly, let me know. Just clicked READ and then REPORT. AIDA64 was turned OFF as per instructions.

My IC chips are Nanya FYI. (as per Corsair)

It works fine for people using DDR4. That's how this list was created: https://www.overclock.net/forum/18051-memory/1627555-ryzen-memory-ic-collection-thread.html

There's another list on reddit somewhere that might be even more comprehensive, but I can't remember which sub had it.

Good luck when you build it. All I can say is read instructions carefully but enjoy every moment of it. It's a very good feeling to build things for yourself and I hope you get what you want out of it
