Hi all,

I am planning on building a PC and the heaviest workload I would do is probably play Dota on linux. I will be running this at a 1920 by 1080 resolution. These are the parts I picked out https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ynwRRk. I'm concerned about memory compatibility (cause I hear Ryzen is very particular about memory) how well this would run linux.
Thanks in advance!

Edit: Forgot to add, I was hoping for a $800 budget but it looks like this is gonna be $950 which I am fine with

That ram is compatible but you're better off with something like:


The timings on that ram @ 3600 18-22-22-42 is pretty nasty for $10 you can drop to 16-19-19-39 from the same company is much better.
