I'm building a new gaming PC and I want to make sure my choices are solid. Here are the specs I'm planning to use:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- **Motherboard**: MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI (ATX)
- **CPU Cooler**: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360
- **PSU**: MSI MPG A1000G PCIE5 (1000W, so no future upgrades needed)
- **RAM**: CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 64GB 6400 MHz. I'm curious about compatibility since I can't find this RAM on the list. Any recommendations?
- **Case**: Phanteks Eclipse G400A Mid-Tower
- **GPU**: 5070 ti
- **SSD**: WD_BLACK SN850X M.2
Does this all look good, especially for 1440p gaming?

I’m not really a fan of AIO coolers, but if it works for you, go for it! Just wondering why you opted for 64GB of RAM? Most games run great on 32GB, and you might not need that much. Also, I’d suggest going for 6000 MHz instead of 6400 MHz. Just make sure to pick up two sticks—either 2x16GB or 2x32GB if you’re really set on future-proofing.
The 64GB is on sale right now, and I want some extra space since upcoming games like Borderlands 4 recommend 32GB. I'm just trying to be safe and not max out my RAM!
