Greetings Lemmings! I'm looking to build a top tier PC for gaming and software development. It's been over 10 years since my last PC build so I'm a bit out of the loop. How does this build look?
I have a few specific questions on this build:
- Is the motherboard I picked underpowered for my CPU/GPU? I looked at pricier models but they don't seem to offer any tangible benefits I can see over the ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-F
- Is it true that RAM faster than DDR5 6000 is a waste for Ryzen 7000 series CPUs?
- Can I daisy chain as many ARGB fans as I want on to one ARGB header? I'd like to add more case fans, but that motherboard only has one ARGB header.
- Is the motherboard's built-in M.2 heat sink good enough for the Crucial T700 SSD, or should I get the version with a beefier heat sink?
I appreciate any insights you all have!
Unless your mind is set on the cooler, I recommend Thermalright which I used in my recent build. Works great!

Thanks for the tip! I'll check out that cooler. I'm also considering a liquid cooler since modern AIO kits seem fairly hassle free.
