Thank you for the great advice @jhpace1!!!

The mobo has RGB lighting but it'll be in a computer room so I should be ok - except for when i'm in the dogbox with the wife :p

I wish I could get faster ram as I see Ryzen has the need for speed, but here in New Zealand and on my budget (with a bad credit rating due to being a stupid kid) this is the best I could get. Maybe i'll be lucky and get it to OC up to 2993mhz with looser timings (I have no idea what this means but have seen a lot of comments about it - can't wait to learn!).
