Finally made a decision on my next build

Ok I realize that i've started like 2 threads in the last couple months saying i'm gonna start a new build but please hold with me through this one. I finally made some final decisions on what I want and want to know what you guys think.

Ok. I have picked out heat spreaders for the ram. I have also heard that the venice core A64s are coming out soon so what i'm gonna do is start gathering parts then when they hit newegg i'll snap one of those up.

Now for the 2 questions that I have, (1) Is that ram gonna be any good for OCing. (2) When I get my cpu it's either gonna be a 3000+ or 3200+. Is that PSU gonna be able to handle and OC. If not can you suggest a better one.
Thanks for any input. Sorry for being such a bother with deciding on what I want.

I was in a similar boat deciding for which venice core to get. either the 3200+ or 3500+. i decided to save a good 100$ and get the 3200+...Just what im doing though.

that RAM is fine for OCing although heat spreaders won't do anything. a small fan blowing on the ramchips works much better. me personally speaking, you would be better off getting a 3200+, saving 100 dollars, and getting an X800XL. that sparkle is fine for OCing
