Oh that ram kit, that CL speed you want something faster than 19. If you can CL 14 speed is the way to go, but 15/16 speeds are better than CL 19. (Lower is better).
This, what I did for boot, storage, and memory. Memory price/performance gets severe below CL 15/16 but there's affordable server 15/16 memory with lifetime warranty that's close enough to 14 for most users.

Samsung SSD's get you full access to their Magician app.

I've had liquid and air coolers. Both are effective. Better video card and case fans are very quiet and controllable with MSI Afterburner but I don't stress hardware much beyond F1 2019, Prepar3D and 4K video rendering. I found quality thermal paste properly applied at least as important as cooling hardware.

FS 2020 might be different but it's looking like the heavy lifting will come from the cloud.
