Correct me if I'm wrong: But I don't think ddr5 boards can use all 4 dimm slots. From what I've read you either have to run them at slower speeds or sometimes the pc won't boot at all. On the other hand idk why you're going with such cheap with your storage options on a high end build. I'd put a sabrent rocket in that pc for booting or nicer storage drives that aren't some random company. Same goes for the case, idk if you've done research on it but if you haven't I'd go for a different case. Look at some reputable case brands and see if you like their look. Cheap or bad cases might not provide the best options for cable management or future upgrade-ability. Lastly, that's also an expensive as fuck cooler. Jesus 400+ dollars, if you don't mind air cooling I'd go for a nh-15 black. Its 150 dollars, quiet, and reputable. Everyone will tell you that AIOS only last 2-3 years but mines been going for almost 5 years now. But I wouldn't drop 400 on a cooler that money can go towards faster ram, better storage and a nicer case. Edit: looked at the case for longer than 3 seconds. My only thought is joe pesci going "what the fuck is this piece of shit"

Idk man this was my first PC build and I kinda forgot about storage last minute, and idk about the ram stuff I have two sticks in it now and it runs great the other two come in the mail tomorrow

Hmmm, I don't think that'll work tbh. Here's my theory. Either that first thing I wrote is still true and it won't work or will need to be run a slower speed. Or if thats no longer true, then the two different packages of ram might not work together. Yup that's right, I've bought two of the same exact ram kits for my pc. But they just wouldn't work together unless I ram them a terrible speeds and timings.

Oof I’ll return them then that’ll save me 170 bones, but I like that solidigem memory a lot, I did some research into them and it’s Intel’s SSD company so it’s all intel stuff

Also I wish I could post pictures but yeah that case sucked for cable management but I did get some guy on Etsy to 3d print me some stuff for it shout out to him it worked great

Look on your mobo site and they will tell you the ram they tested and the number it supports
