You would need the Strix X570 with that CPU.

I would also suggest the RMX PSU personally.

You also want the AX200 wifi card, the one you have selected is around 13 years old and doesn't support modern standards (it's a very old "N" card).

At least silver warranty.

Thanks. I've changed what you said.

On the WIFI card, what is the 'BT 5.0' all about?

I've taken off the 144Hz / 24" monitor as I'm skepticle about editing photos on them after seeing reviews.
I've changed the case to the Corsair.

I think I'll go with the 2x 16GB of RAM instead of 4x 8GB, plus it's a little cheaper.

Also had to drop to 3200Mh because of the new MBO.

Is this build ok now?

Is the CPU Cooler ok?

Even though I haven't said it before, I thank everyone for helping me:)(y)

I've read that the chosen CPU, X5900, takes 3200Mhz RAM. Is the 3600MHz overkill.
....and if I change it, will it change the build time?

It's not really the CPU that dictates the RAM speed but the motherboard.

You have native RAM speed which is the CPU max, and then a whole host of higher speeds which are essentially auto overclock profiles set by the motherboard.

Any 5000 series CPU supports over 4000MHz RAM on B550 and X570

I think I may have made a mistake in ordering 2 extra fans because I would require 3 more. I tried cancelling the fans, but it says the CPU Cooler is low in stock, so can't take the fans off.

Should I contact PCS and ask them to take the fans off my build?
Hopefully the CPU Cooler fans will be mounted on top of the case, or should I ask them about this too?

The last time I contacted them they said they had enough of the CPU Coolers in stock and I wouldn't have to wait to have more stock delivered.
