  • It’s looking good to me! As @blueday@lemmy.world said, double check the clearences with the video card between the case, motherboard, and RAM. Try searching for reviews of the motherboard you’re looking at, ctrl + F and look for “clearence” or some other related word and see if there are any complaints.

    Good idea going for a video card with more RAM.

    Since I switched to AMD, I’ve been a big fan of the Ryzen chips. You get more cores at good speeds and competitive pricing versus Intel’s chip. I’m also into supporting competition and voting with my wallet where and when I can. The extra cores will help with video editing, encoding, etc. But, ymmv between Intel and AMD.

    My limited understanding with RAM is that after a certain point you are measuring speeds and clocks that will only give you marginal improvements (a difference in a handful of half seconds and seconds between different kits). I would suggest getting the most DDR5 RAM you can afford right now and don’t really sweat it too much.
