My First PC Build – Intel vs AMD for Work and Gaming

[hmn888]

Hi guys, it’s alive! I just wanted to let you know that the PC is now up and running!
Big thanks to everyone who helped me with tips and advices. You’re the best!
I’m really happy to be part of this amazing community!

Special thanks to @Waldorf, who supported me throughout the entire process. Thanks, man!

I’ll probably change my RAM, though. I’m currently using 2x32GB Corsair Vengeance (64 GB total) DDR5-6000 CL30,
which is Intel XMP Ready but unfortunately not compatible with AMD EXPO. As a result, I don’t have the EXPO option in the BIOS.
Which RAM with similar specs would you recommend so I can enable the EXPO profile?
My motherboard is an MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI, and my CPU is an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X.
Thanks in advance!

Where pics? We need that B-roll

Also XMP/EXPO should work either way.

I agree the memory should still work, but here's an expo kit with similar specs

It doesn’t have a particularly attractive look, it’s just sitting under my desk

Thanks for the info! I’ll see if my system runs stably with the A-XMP profile, and if not, I’ll probably buy RAM with EXPO support.

What? That's a solidly good looking case.

Thanks Yeah, I also like how the be quiet! Shadow Base 800 looks. I just didn’t equip it with any fancy RGB components, except for the GPU, haha
