Where should I spend my last hundred dollars? (kbin.social)

I made the following parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4ksFHG
Costs 900 USD. I've got 100 dollars extra, what should I upgrade? Or just leave it as is and spend the last hundred on a nicer monitor? This will be a gaming pc. Must be an AMD GPU tho, and the mobo needs to have wifi. Thanks all :)

EDIT: i think imma spend it on case fans. 4 be quiet! SILENT WINGS 4 (3x140mm, 1x120mm) to keep the noise down

EDIT 2: heres the updated list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/strawbee/saved/rzTCrH

added some case fans, nicer ram, a nicer mobo (the first one didnt have usb gen 2 header, need it for the usb c port on the case). I do plan on getting the 7600 XT rather than the 6700 whenever that releases

Bs advice from OP.

AMD and more than two sticks of ram is very flaky..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

As someone who's a bit daft. Can you explain what issues AMD has with more than 2 sticks? I've got 4 with AMD, and I haven't noticed anything.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Calling it very flaky is somewhat strong but there are a lot of cases (or at least people repeating it) of people not getting 4 sticks stable on overclock profiles. I don't know any numbers ofcourse but if you have the luxury to plan ahead and go for 2x16 you won't risk it.

Stay with 2 something like 2x16gb, upgrade when enough cash to 64gb.
