Do you need an Operating System?: No
Do you have any specific preferred components?: Thinking about a 2060 super and Ryzen5 3600 but am open, I have a PSU and some storage already (want a 1tb m.2 SSD cuz cheap)
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: Mobo integrated should be fine
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: Was looking at liquid but not gonna push the machine probably not required

I've been looking at the above, really just want a sanity check

sry fixed

also if you got 12$ more i mean this ram matches much better imo.

The bottom link is perfect for what you want. Ryzen's can really take advantage of more/stronger RAM.

No need to buy any cooler, the AMD supplied one should be more than adequate

Will the 3000 vs 3600 ram be noticable?
Its coming up as more than a $12 difference atm but that may because im looking at part picker on mobile

both the same latency (you want lower latency) (10 nanoseconds) but higher clock speed = better
i'd prob just go with the first, i'm guessing there was maybe a deal that expired or something

could use this if you don't plan to upgrade your ram afterwards

little faster

You can dial down timings on higher frequency ram and run it at a lower speed as well.

/edit
I also meant 12$ more then your budget.

Thanks all!

Last questions
If i spring for a 34” curved recommendations?
Gonna wait until bf or cm for a monitor but should i wait on components as well? If i will save more than 10% i might wait, less and i wouldn’t bother

With holidays approaching you probably won't save by waiting, prices are being inflated now to make fake sales for both black friday and xmas.
Generally the good deals are on inferior quality products made for black Friday clearance (especially tv's).
Most deals can be found here and there up to 4-6 months prior to these fake holidays.

As for curved its your choice but there generally a gimmick. Really comes down to your budget though.

i have this at work and it's pretty nice

has a MASSIVE base btw.

black friday is mostly hype and usually not any real out of the ordinary deals.. it's a marketing tactic more than anything




agree, have 2 144hz 1080's at home and i prefer it greatly over the 34" at work (but apparently the meta is 1440 144hz nowadays)

easier to snap things to two monitors vs one, and scaling is always an annoyance with the big one
