I've not done any upgrades yet

Out of curiosity, what was your aim with your upgrade selections?

Mine was primarily streaming, intensive gaming and video editing. As such, I think the CPU and RAM are a good combination to do so. What do you use your pc for?

Sounds good. I would have recommended 2x16GB 3200 over 4x8 3000 but i'm sure it'll work just dandy.

A bit of everything really. Gaming, VR, Simulation, Video Editing, In-House streaming etc.

I was initially gonna go 3200MHz but I already had 16GB 3000MHz installed so I decided to upgrade as some games I'm looking at run at 16GB recommended so I wanted some extra memory. It works flawlessly with 3000MHz though

No game runs at 16Gb, they recommend 16Gb, big difference. The hungriest game out currently takes a max of 12gb including windows, any more than 16Gb just wont be used.
