[strike]need[/strike] I suggest faster RAM for Ryzen. 3000 is the sweet spot IMHO.
the evo is available in an m.2 form factor, fewer cables
looks good

OK, Thanks for the advice. I might get Corsair Vengeance Black memory instead.

The M.2 SSD is the same price but are they faster? Also are they as easy to setup?

Thanks

no faster, it is still a SATA rated drive, but there will be 2 fewer cables to run.
plug it in, insert the set screw.
power on.
you will need to check the motherboard manual for any board specific settings.
