Anything to improve let me know, hesitating between 128 and 256gb ram. I have 64gb right now and have been struggling all year having not enough memory. planning to run about 6 virtual machines in the background while still having ~240 fps when gaming at low graphic settings

CPU - Threadripper 3960x - $1900 cad
CPU Cooler - MSI MAG CORELIQUID 360R AIO - $240 cad
Motherboard - Asus PRIME TRX40-PRO w/ DDR4-3200, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit LAN, CrossFireX / SLI - $600 cad
Ram - Ripjaws V Series 128GB DDR4 3600MHz CL18 Dual/Quad Channel Kit (4 x 32GB), Black - $500 or $1000 cad
Video Card - rtx 2070 - already have
PSU - anything between 750-850w with a good manufacturer - $150 cad
Case - Meshify C TG Light Tint Mid Tower Case, Black w/ Tempered Glass Window - $130 cad


$3520 + taxes = $4000 cad

Buy these instead...

nzxt kraken x73
Gigabyte TRX40 AORUS MASTER EATX sTRX4 Motherboard
Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic ATX Full Tower Case

for psu..

Antec High Current Gamer Gold 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

For memory get 16CAS@3600mhz or 16CAS@3400mhz vs 18CAS/@3600@
128gb Should be fine, but we also don't know your usage.

im usually with 2 poe open all the time, planning to have 6 up to 10 virtual machines at 4gb ram open, chrome/firefox with about 100 tabs open and l have 8 wows open for 2 hours everyday. I don't want to see the error that l dont have enough memory anymore

so from what im reading for gaming 16cas 3200 would be better than 18cas 3600? there is no 16cas 3600
last gigabyte gpu went dead on me after a few weeks and replacement was the same card unfixed so l lost $600 right before pandemic, so not really keen on buying from gigabyte again even if its a different part.
whats the difference between kraken and msi theyre both the same price

2020
and this guy says buy antec
how is that brand still around
shoulda died 10yrs ago

Litterally based off seasonics design and partnered with them for it.

To think seasonic is trash in 2020

/edit
Must be shit, with a 10-year warranty.
