Tactical Nuke's first computer build! (MINIMIZNG COSTS)
Tactical Nuke:
what does RGB do in terms of RAM?
SteveJenkins:
its coloured lighting on the top
literally nothing besides looking pretty, iirc g.skill has software for their trident Z's you can customise the lights with
ninja edit to elaborate: the ones I linked don't have lighting so you wont need the software, the ones you currently have set do have the lights
might as well answer these too:

he really likes his RAM

depends on what you're doing, creative software (music, drawing, modelling) tend to use up a lot of ram but even then 16gb should do fine, in my personal experience I can run 2 discord clients (main account on normal and bot account on canary), play GTA V, have music going and be drawing with only about 14 gig used.

to those talking about overclocking, should I keep the 1700 cpu or stick with the 1800x I added?
Zloff:
oc 1700 + better cooler
as for a mouse, i use a g500s for my setup at home (i got 2 for $80 each; i'd never spend $170 on a single mouse lol). At work and with my laptop i use this $25 sharkk mouse and honestly it does the job of gaming and design/modeling work 75% as well at 15% the price of the logitech, and it's wireless (i hate wires). imho you don't need to spend much on a mouse, what refticus said was spot-on-- for mice and keyboards
Tactical Nuke:
that mouse you linked me is $170, not $80
what is the difference between 3.7 GHz and 4.0 GHz performance CPU-wise? I also need convincing that I'd be able to overclock safely to 3.7 GHz with the default cooler
