DDR5 4x16GB or 2x32GB

Dear all, Good day!

I’d like your opinion/answer on how I messed up/went from 10/10 to 1/10. The situation is as follows:

I recently built a new PC with these main parts: CPU - AMD 9800X3D; Motherboard - MSI MAG B850; RAM - DDR5 2x16 GB, 6000 MHz, CL30.

After a few weeks, I decided to add another 32 GB of RAM (the same as my existing kit). When the extra RAM arrived, I realized that 4x16 GB would work worse/slower than 2x32 GB. So now I have an unopened 2x16 GB RAM kit, and I’m wondering how much I messed up.

Should I return/sell the existing RAM and buy a new 2x32 GB kit, or just give up and install the delivered RAM to finish the build as 4x16 GB?

Cooler changes?

Hey so I’m building my first PC tower at the end of the month (hell if my checks big enough it’ll be this weekend) but I’m curious if I should swap out the AIO I picked for something else I’ll also take other parts suggestion and build suggestions

Thank you

These are the main parts I chose (storage is coming in waves cause I need like 10-15 TB)

I need help, I’m clueless

I don’t know much about computers, but I want to build a PC that can run a (not ridiculously) modded gta 5, and project zomboid. If I were to build it myself, I don’t know the risk involved or the most cost effective way as I don’t have $2k-$3k lying around for video games alone currently

Help me Build my First Gaming PC

I'm finally ready to make the switch to PC. I will mainly be using it for gaming and simple everyday task usage. I plan on playing games like CoD, Fortnite, Destiny, Valorant, DayZ, Sports games, and the occasional simulation games like Cities Skylines. I would like to have a modest setup to be able to play GTA 6 whenever it comes out to PC. I guess my target specs would be 1440p at around 144FPS. I currently have a ASUS 165hz monitor that I don't 'plan' on upgrading.

I do also plan on doing a little 3D modeling for some simple 3D printing. But that isnt a dealbreaker if not.

Here is what I came up with on my own with my little research. Please help me adjust any parts if it doesn't make sense.

Suggestions/Recommendations for first PC

As stated in the title this will be my first PC build. I’m not looking for anything too crazy performance wise, but a 5070 is definitely something I want. It will be an all white build with a clean aesthetic, and I don’t mind spending a little more on the aesthetics rather than putting that money toward higher performance.

For the fans, I’m planning on 6 reverse 120mm fans for bottom/side intake, 3 standard 120mm fans on the AIO for top exhaust, and 1 standard 140mm for rear exhaust

I’ll mainly be using it for gaming and I’m aiming for a good 1440p experience. I’d appreciate any feedback on the parts, especially if there’s anything I should change or add. The goal is to build it this year (most likely gonna get parts during Black Friday) Thank you ahead of time!!
