Could please suggest an alternative for the RAM? not being able to get the specific AData model mentioned by you.

I will be frank,Adata should always be anyone's last choice not first especially if one is looking for quality.I just replied on another thread,see that post:
Post your latest Purchase

Get RGB version if you have the budget,yes it is extra money just for "cool lighting effects" but then if one has earned money then he has also earned the right to enjoy it.

are you suggesting the 3000 mhz one or 3200 mhz one? and what CAS?

Also, would you suggest any change in any other component cause we are gouing ahead with bssunil's recommendations?

Would you all suggest going with a better PSU? If yes, which one?

also suggestions for a cooler for the processor?

Assume the budget is 130k and not 120k.

I would suggest you to wait for the Ryzen 2 refresh coming early 2018

AMD Plans Ryzen 2 February Launch: Intel Faces Tough 2018?

Also, don't you think the psu which you suggest maybe a tad bit overkill for the config?

Try this one:

Gskill TridentZ starts from 3200MHz & will run at 3200MHz guaranteed as per that tomshardware link I posted in other post unlike other brand rams which usually run at max speed of 2966MHz that too with much tinkering.The point is,why spend extra money on 3000MHz or above ram if it is not guaranteed to run at that speed unless it is TridentZ.If you don't want TridentZ 3200MHz ram then just get 2400/2666 MHz ram from any brand,don't go for in-between(aka 3000MHz ram)/alternative options(aka other brands 3200MHz ram).

Corsair CX650M is good psu but a better one is Corsair RM650X.

For cpu cooler I don't have much idea but for moderate overclocking,a good air cooler like hyper212 should be enough.

P.S.seems like Ryzen stock cooler should be good too & Hyper212 needs a upgrade kit for compatibility with AM4/Ryzen.

Thanks everyone for the help. We have decided to wait for the Ryzen refresh.
