I have already settled on the cpu and gpu those being an intel i5 14400f and an rtx 5060, now I just wanna know which ram i should get
living in the us one hour away from a micro center (since that seems to be extremely important)

Budget?
The $299 7500x3d combo deal (16 gb) is a good place to start,

So 16gb of ddr5 ram? Budget is 300 or less, if so why the ddr5 instead?

First - you are not getting a 14400 + motherboard + 32GB ram for $300
The 7500x3d combo will wipe the floor in gaming over a 32GB 14400 build. (and I have a 14400, 32 build that I am happy with)

No I didn’t mean 300$ total I meant 300 left for ram, but anyways, thanks!

my comment still stands. even if you are getting the 14400 for free, the 7500x3d bundle is way to go,
Microcenter is known for their bundles. But there is not much between $300 and $499 (9700x bundle with 32GB). And if the $200 difference is fine, I would jump to the rtx5070 ($560) with the same $300 7500x3d combo

Thanks for all your help! I’ll be definitely looking into some of those bundles and maybe even save a little more money, but yeah, thanks!
