Please help me finalize my build
Post Body
- I'm a casual gamer, looking to do 1440p 60Hz on Ultra.
- I'm also a software developer. I need a bunch of RAM to run multiple VMs. My current machine has 32G. I was hoping to upgrade to 2x32G but there don't appear to be Samsung B-die sticks available in that configuration, and those appear to be the favored chips for working with Ryzen.
- I'd like to do some moderate RAM overclocking to 3600 C 14 or 15.
- I'm utterly at a loss to choose the right motherboard. I've read a few posts that talk about the higher quality of x570 boards (better PCBs, thicker traces, etc) which make for easier overclocking. Even if I just narrow my search down to boards with that chipset, there are still a ton of them.
- No hard budget. I'm trying to avoid wasting money where possible.
- Open to suggestions on other components.
