Hey everyone! I'm not really keeping up with the latest components since I built my current PC a while back. I'm planning to buy some new parts this week and would love some feedback. I'm leaning towards 64GB of RAM but I'm unsure which kit to choose or if CAS latency really matters. The current RAM I picked (2x32GB) – any thoughts? Also, I selected a motherboard to take advantage of a 5Gbit ethernet port. For my GPU, I was considering the MSI 5080. Just to add, I'll mostly be using this setup for video editing and gaming. Thanks for any help!

I found a good, budget-friendly 64GB RAM kit and a cheaper motherboard that still supports 5Gbit LAN. I trimmed costs on the cooler and power supply but kept solid components. You could even drop the RAM to 32GB if you’re mostly gaming unless you plan on playing RAM-heavy games.
What kind of tasks are you planning to run on your computer? It really helps narrow down the recommendations to match your needs!
I should have clarified – I'll mainly be doing video editing and gaming.
Thanks! I picked that cooler because it's known to be really quiet, which is great for my setup. Does that change anything?
