[Ginger Blog] Choosing some hardware (Patreon)

Hi all!
For two years I have been planning to upgrade my computer, but every time something forced me to postpone the decision again and again. So, when I was already mentally ready to buy new components for my computer, I had to move to another country and during those four months I had a lot of other worries...
But now the worries are slowly starting to dissipate, and the problems are slowly starting to be solved. At this rate, I have a real chance to upgrade my computer this year!
It is true that during this time a lot of interesting things happened in the world of computer hardware. New processors from AMD and Intel came out, and DDR5 RAM stopped costing space money.
I am not a very clever kitten and all this hardware still costs a lot of money, so I decided to ask advice from the best people in the world - you!
I was thinking about buying an AMD 7950X processor based computer. I know now there is a 7950X3D, but it is too expensive and I know I won't get too much use from 3DCash. I really don't know that much about it but from what I understand I need X670E chipset based motherboard but I don't plan to do overclocking so I don't want to overpay for unnecessary features... The only thing I need is wifi and Bluetooth support on my motherboard.
I'm even worse about RAM. The only thing I figured out is that I need to buy 64GB of memory so that it is 2 modules of 32GB and the memory frequency is 6000Mhz. But I have no idea what the manufacturers differ and which one to take. I don't think I will be overclocking RAM, so I don't need any additional options like cooling heatsinks.
Anyway, I ended up with something like this:
AMD Ryzen 7950X
ASUS PRIME X670E-PRO WIFI
G.Skill Flare X5 F5-6000J3636F16GX2-FX5
Like I said, I'm not a very smart kitty and don't know much about computers, especially brand new ones. If any of you are knowledgeable about computer hardware, I'd love your additions or advice!
