Ryzen loves extra ram! Look for b-die/e-die ram, you wont regret it! Or so I read before upgrading my PC. At the end of the day, I hesitated and lost the opportunity to buy that 100 dollar ram upgrade anyway because it was sold out and ram was in high demand due to the new CPU launch, and I'm glad I did . Would that extra 100 bucks be better off spent on a better graphics card or processor? It seems so.

I just play open world games at 1080p and occasionally watch movies at the same res. Don't care for much else.

If you want to run 1440p monitors or 144hz monitors, a better GPU is necessary. 1440p 144hz makes you never want to go back to normal 1080p 60hz monitors. My 1070 can't support two 144hz monitors unfortunately, it only has 1 display port and HDMI is only 60hz.

The NVMe's are a great help for general OS usage and game loading times. I have a Samsung 970 EVO at home and work. The 500gb version is almost exactly $100
