I've never built a pc and am finding no help anywhere I ask about this.
I have no idea what the number of CPU PCIE lanes really even means, but.... all I know is the 8700 and 8700k say they have 16 and the 2700x says 24.
If a gpu and ssd take up 20, then 1. how would it even work properly on an intel? and 2. even on the ryzen it would leave 0 left, since it said 4 of its 24 are to connect to the mobo (or something like that.... like I said, I know nothing about this).
I am in a big mess. I already have non-returnable 32gb of trident z that is optimized for intel and not listed for any x470 mobo qvl I look at. But then if I go with intel it has less lanes and I read that someone couldn't get powerdirector to use his gpu because it kept wanting to use the igpu from intel, so either way I go I may run into issues. And I also have some gift certificates expiring in less than 2 hours and was hoping to buy a cpu, so now will have to find something else to buy since I have no clue on this situation.
my memory is samsung b die, but it's 15 CAS, not 14. What an annoying situation paying so much for 32gb at ridiculous prices and then realizing despite people claiming ryzen has its memory issues solved, people still say it doesn't and mine isn't listed anywhere. F4-3200C15D-32GTZKW.
