Hi, I've made another thread before asking if I should upgrade, and from the response decided to upgrade the RAM and Storage

My current rig is

CPU: Intel Core i5-7600
PSU: Standard CPU Cooler
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB
STORAGE: Seagate FireCuda SSHD 2TB (2016)
RAM: Corsair CM4X8GE2133C13K4 2x8GB
MBD: Asus H110M-R
PSU: CORSAIR 450W VS SERIES™ VS-450 POWER SUPPLY
CASE: COOLERMASTER K350 GAMING CASE

+ 24x DUAL LAYER DVD WRITER ±R/±RW/RAM (I've disabled and took this out now which freed up another sata6 slot)
+ ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
+ WIRELESS 802.11 AC1750 1,300Mbps/5GHz, 450Mbps/2.4GHz PCI-E CARD

Now, I want to upgrade the sshd to 2 SSD's instead:

1) Team Group T-FORCE Delta Max RGB SSD 2.5" 250GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal RGB Solid State Drive (SSD) (For MB with 5V ADD Header)
[For handling pc/windows essentials]

2) Team Group T-FORCE Delta Max RGB SSD 2.5" 1TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal RGB Solid State Drive (SSD) (For MB with 5V ADD Header)
[For everything else. games, photoshop etc]

AND, I want to replace the RAM to

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C19D-32GVRB

Here is the problem I have, on the support page of the motherboard there is a list of all compatible parts. These have pretty much the same specs as those supported parts but not the actual parts on the list. Can I install these on the Asus H110M-R motherboard or do I have to only upgrade to the components on that list.

Here is the list btw.

Storage: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...092.523199180.1588065775-290590706.1587663423
Ram: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...092.523199180.1588065775-290590706.1587663423


I know a little bit about computers but when it comes to technical stuff I'm a complete newb so I appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

That board can take a max of 2133MHz and 1.35V on the RAM and I think it can only take 2 x 8Gb, no more as on the vendor compatibility list it states max single DIMM size of 8Gb.

Why do you want that much RAM anyway?

The SSD's are fine, any SATA SSD / HDD will fit in a desktop, they're universal.

The G.SKILL F4-3600-C17Q-16GVK is 3600MHz is it not?

The reason I want to upgrade to 32GB ram (if possible, otherwise 16 will have to do) is I want to be able to upgrade the other parts of this setup in the future, so instead of buying just enough spec for this setup, I want to buy decent hardware for future-proofing.

Yeah but what do you need 32gb RAM for? RAM is only used by programs that use it, for most uses, you’ll never need more than 16Gb, it’s not that MOAR RAM = BETTER, it’s only if it’s actually going to be used that it’s worth it.

Like I said I'd like to upgrade this whole system in the future, bit by bit, to a much more high-end rig. Why is having 32GB ram such a big issue?

RAM isn’t something where adding more makes a system better. Certain programs use certain amounts of RAM. Just because your system has 32Gb doesn’t mean it’s going to be miraculously faster or anything, it’s only if you’re using a program that actually needs that amount of RAM.

There are very few reasons for needing more than 16Gb of RAM, so what is it you’re using that requires 32Gb?

What I’m saying is unless youhave a particular program that is RAM intensive and you’re finding it’s having to cache to disk, there’s absolutely no benefit to having more RAM. It’s just throwing money down the drain and will never be used.

Well the reason I wanted to get 32GB is apart from gaming I do a lot of graphic design work on photoshop etc but I wanted to get into Blender and do 3D renders, which I heard having more RAM helps with render times. But if 32GB is unneeded I don't mind a 16GB. I just don't want to buy another pair in a few years time and waste money.

Ah ok, yeah, it’s probably worth upgrading it all then to 2 x 16 3000mhz, otherwise you’re going to have to swap it all again when you upgrade to 32Gb

Okay, so would you say something like Team TCD48G3000C16ABK 2x8GB is worth upgrading to? Not that I can find any of the decent 16GB rams on that list for sale lol.
