SSD just get a cheaper 500GB. Like the crucial 525GB or the WD 500GB. Makes no diff in performance for you, but your wallet can save a few more dollars for some good meals.

Thanks for the replies! Is 16GB ram a must? 8GB not enough?

Yes. 16gb in fact is just adequate. 32gb then best lol

Corsair got ram that is tested to work with AMD. Note the amd logo on the vengeance packaging will do. Ryzen is more sensitive to ram. But most ram should work just fine at 2933mhz at the latest bios revision. Upcoming one likely to support even higher.

Mine is not certified for Ryzen yet still work. Best is to check the motherboard qvl before buying.
