Hello, I'm thinking of upgrading my current build by changing the CPU+RAM+MOBO combo.

What I'm keeping (may upgrade the GPU sometime in the future):

What I'm thinking of buying:

So the questions are:
1) What incompatibilities or inconveniences I might encounter with that?
2) What should've been better about that upgraded build (keeping in mind I don't really want to spend more, unless there's a reason)?
3) I suppose, the RAM uses Hynix M-die ICs and it's not that likely to get Hynix A-die ICs with that kit. With that in mind, according to reviews, I'd want my RAM with tightened timings at 6000 MHz, for example, 30-38-38-38-96-96. Will I be able to reach that with the build? What do I need for that?

Thank you in advance, have a nice weekend!
 
Firstly ask yourself what you need from an X670E that you don't get on B650E (Look at the Rog Strix B650E-F gaming wifi if you want to stay with a Rog board)

I'd look at G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory (it's about $10 more with good CL 30 timings and a 10ns first word - which is another useful metric for Ryzen memory) and has the timings you're looking for

ATM locally for me the RGB is cheaper than the non RGB and 64 gig is less than double the price of 32 gig.
