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:

  1. 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
  2. Is it true that RAM faster than DDR5 6000 is a waste for Ryzen 7000 series CPUs?
  3. 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.
  4. 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!

    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.
