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

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.

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.
