I've noticed there's a lot of people that use aqua socks for sim racing.

Yeah, you want the ability to feel micro-differences of applied pedal pressure without the side affect of pulling them up constantly like regular socks.
 
Speaking of RAM, I'm building a PC for someone and the budget is pretty tight. They're shooting for smooth 1080P gaming, and I'm wondering if I can get away with just using 8GB of RAM instead of 16. 8GB has been the standard for PC gaming for a long time, but I've noticed that some games are starting to recommend 16GB. Do you guys think 16GB is the better option or is 8 fine for 1080P? I was going to get them a single 8GB corsair vengeance DDR4 2400 MHz stick.

you can scrape by with only 8gb’s but I’d step up to 16gb especially how cheap memory is today.
Always run your memory in pairs of sticks, you’ll lose performance by running only one stick (google single vs dual channel memory to find out why).
If you’re building a Ryzen system, step up to at least DDR4 3000, AMD gets a good performance boost from faster ram.

I wish I had bought my ram a few months later I got 3000mhz now for the same price I could get 3600mhz for my Ryzen to eat up.

I always bought RAM sticks in pairs for every other build inadvertently, but I didn't know it actually made a difference. Thanks for the heads up.
 
The ryzen 5 2600X is on sale for 3 days at $80 at microcenter. I literally just bought this thing last week at around $120 lol.
