The RAM should be completely fine, there's not really a need to shoot for something with lowest latency / highest operating clock speeds unless you're shooting for benchmarking world records.

Right now is the new RTX 3080, but is going for almost $800, if you can find it, that is. The 2060 is more than capable and is fraction of the cost, but is hard to find right now. Is just about the only thing that I'm missing on my cart. |

I don't track NVidia closely because I've always preferred AMD/ATI. My current systems has a RX5700XT (it was built earlier this year). That's considered a "second tier" card at this point, but I'm very satisfied with it. It runs everything I've thrown at it in 1920x1080 with no issues, including MS Flight Sim 2020 and VR. It also runs 3x1920x1080 games with no issue. This might fit into your budget and I've seen availability on it. The price for it is also jacked up a bit though since availability of top tier is almost zero.

If you can hold off I'd try and find a 3060 not a 2060.
The price difference is minimal considering the increase in performance. |

My MSI Tomahawk board couldn't run 3600 gskill ram, had to turn it down to 3200 MHz. Zero issues after that. Anywho just look up your board manufacturer site, under support find the ram comparability chart. It's that simple.

compatibility is on the component level.
comparability is on the user to make the right decision!

the important thing to remember about ssd's is that write cycles are what damage them. my preference is to run a small ssd for the OS(under 400gb), and run a larger platter drive(1tb minimum) for any games/programs needed. that way, it somewhat isolates the programs and their save data from the OS and vice-versa. so if either drive takes a dump, i don't loose everything. i'm also not convinced that running game files off an ssd results in any performance improvement. i second the amd/ati mindset. every time i've tried to run amd/nvidia, it gets weird issues.

TLDR; You wont kill the drive with writes. All programs should be on SSD's, that includes games. Having a separate drive for OS was more for spending less on the NVMe drive itself and getting a cheaper larger SATA SSD for other program storage. Loading times between SSD and HDD are vastly different. The amount of writes you can do to a decent SSD these days will in all but very few circumstances outlast the computer build. I have been using my 850EVO for just over 5 years now. It has lasted as a my only drive in 2 laptops and is now used as game storage in my desktop. I am now pushing nearly 20TB written and the drives health is still good. "Current consumer grade SSD's have been tested to go beyond 600TB total writes. Some past 1000 TB total writes." That is from 2015 when I bought my SSD. As for games not having an impact? There are lots of articles showing drastic drops in load time when going from a HDD to even the slowest SSD. SSD to SSD is much smaller. Case in point. FFXV can take well over a minute to load up where I now load it in under 15 seconds. Another example. |

@x808drifter while I agree with most of what you said, and I do run SSD on my computers for both the OS and the Program drives, outside initial load times I'm not sure there is a lot of difference when running a game thanks to buffering, etc by the game itself.
As far as SSD lifecycle, I agree. While they are a different quality SSD, we use them exclusively in our data center for most of our highest transaction applications. Historically we had a much higher failure rate on mechanical drives than we do with SSDs.

I hosted a few Counter-Strike: Source servers on a computer with SSDs in RAID0 for 8-10 months in 2010 with no issues and the hard drives are still in use ( outside of RAID0) in a friend's computer. The only thing I miss about the old drives is molex. The first time I ought a SATA drive, I was convinced I would break the power connector, I really like the solid feeling of the molex ![]()
