Hi, thanks for your feedback. So you think that for a budget build, AMD 3600 is more than sufficient. And then I can squeze more budget for the memory?

Do your research. Check QVL for your mobo. Prior to buying search the internet for compatibility issues.

3) Memory: I need your feedback
there is no wrong answer.
simple pick would be 3400 - 3600 if you don't plan on mess with timing voltage etc.
3200 and lower will work just as good, if you can get latency down.
if you are like me, a plug and play type of a guy. 3400 - 3600 would be best with 3600 series, especially for gaming.
The ram I chose to get was based on recommended ram from Asus mobi website:
