But anyway this is it. $2100-$2400

GPU will be upgraded down the road and im recycling ssds

Question 1: 2x32 sticks or 4x16 sticks? Will likely expand to 128gb in few years time
Question 2: PSU...as mentioned before in mind with one of the latest nvidia gpu entries, should be enough?
Question 3: Sound card? Needed?

Pure gaming mode

I would say 2 x 32, and you wno't need 128 for a very long tiem IMO unless you are doing some really funky stuff.
PSU is future proofed, that's plenty.
Soudn card not needed.

One thing I will say, I know they’re highly reviewed and they work great but personally I’ve gotten fed up with Corsair and its software. I have a Corsair aio in one of my PCs along with a wireless mouse and keyboard and it’s a pissed me off so much I’ve kind of sworn their products off.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d look at some other aios. And to be clear it does its job and it does it fine. It’s just you can get other coolers that do that without the shorty ass iCue software

I'm the exact opposite with Corsair's software. I have Corsair ram, Corsair fans, and an Asus motherboard which iCue can control. It controls my fan speed and rgb, ram rgb, and motherboard rgb. With Stream Deck integration, I can control a lot of the settings in iCue software with the steam deck.
For example, I have buttons to set my fans at 800rpm, 1500 rpm, or a curve. I can turn my RGB on and off, or set them to different colors.

Thing is that is the only 3 fan cooler they had. Overall I heard good things about corsair products although never owned anything.
 
Have a working theory now. Whatever CPU maker isnt on top sponsors LTT to make videos surrounding their CPU's.

I was just making a point that there is artificial scarcity by companies hoping to get cyptoboom rates. The only player doing that is Intel.

Can you tell me which stores? Because I'd honestly like to get one

They talked about it on WAN Show. The Intel upgrade series is one of their most successful video series and they were pretty shocked when Intel didn't renew. So, they went to AMD and said, "Hey, these vids do millions of views, you want in on this?" and they jumped on it.
